Time is rushing by having to make serious decisions now since the roof joists are complete and it's looking like the roof will be watertight by Christmas before.
Every day I'm going up to the Ropewalk and we're trying to think of things that are coming up over the horizon. Today was confirmation that we should have made a decision about the insulation in the roof space months ago rather than not getting on with it or at least confirming the standard rock wool rolls we not going to take the houses U value anywhere to what I want! I'm convinced by having a warm loft will mean we can store things without them being subjected to extreme temperatures and things like pipes not freezing ever surely has got to be a good idea.
It may be an obvious thing to point out but it's always a shame that in a normal build the things we actually see see are things we probably have to compromise on as the finances are being strained ... We've trying to be organised by hopefully not doing this by employing a quantity surveyor etc but being told this way of insulating the roof is going to cost £5k+ isn't what I wanted!
