Rain rain, rain

Not much news or progress at the moment.

The roof is done except for the lantern and the coping for the top the wall.
There's not much more that can be done to the extension until the glazing arrives (ETA 27 Nov).

Nick has put tarporlines over the roof to try and get the extension to dry out but there have been a whole load of seriously heave showers in the last week. Not sure if was a great idea to install the floor insulation before the extension was watertight. The area near the door is looking like it is suffering...

We've had another tiler around to quote. They also said we need to lay at least 18mm WBP plywood to tile on (screwed with at least 300mm centers). As Nick is adament about putting 22mm chipboard down he also said we could lay Ditra matting to the chipboard and tile ontop of this (assuming the chipboard was also screwed down with at least 300mm centers). We'll see....

The next thing I'm expecing to happen is for Mike the plummer to lift the floor in the kitchen and start working on installing the new Boiler.
The boiler is a Worcester Bosch 24i Greenstar Condensing boiler.

And I'm going to spend some time this weekend making sure the insulation is completely air-tight (I'll seal gaps using expanding foam and silicone bathroom sealer).

Hope the rain abates!
