The laying on of wall insulation finally begins

Had to take 'the mother' to the garage for its warrent-of-fitness
which it failed (!). Will have to have words with my sister.

Blair was at back doing power points so I spent the morning pulling out the old wire (that he hadnt already removed) from the ceiling and walls and coiling it up. Looks like some of the ceiling plates could do with a bit more bracing as some of the beams are a bit wobbly when I stand on them.
Went round with Blair checking power points and light switch positioning.

There was some car rally on from about 10-12.00 (Targa?) which used the road going past the house. Watched that for a bit but no serious carnage so just listened to the engines unwinding as the raced up the hill and round the corner while continued working inside the house.

Finally got started laying wall insulation and got the back end and half the outer wall of the MBR done. I'm using the air-cell Retroshield for the back of the house and its going on really well. Easy to cut, slides nicely into the wall gaps between the opened sarking and fits nicely either by friction against the studs or with a few staples to hold it in place.
It looks quite impressive with the sun shining on it too...
Went through about a third of a roll today so may have to switch over to doing the bathroom and toilet tomorrow to ensure that I have enough for the back end of the house.

Forgot to mention yesterday that the digger guy (with digger) was out flattening out the heaps of dirt between the house and drive - its come up really level now. Pointed out and staked where we want the Hot tub/spa terrace area to be for him to dig out later.
