Luke and I have just spent the last 2 1/2 days installing all the electrical and data cables, we are almost there.
This needs to be done by Monday when the Batts will be installed, and the installation of the wall linings will begin. Not much to see though, the picture shows the all the cables hanging where the switch board willl go.
You can also see the materials for the external cladding; a stack of 50mm polystyrene panels and the piles of bags of plaster.
The first few 50mm polystyrene pannels for the Insulclad exterior cladding have been installed. I am going to install 70mm polystyrene on the concrete around the base to further insulate the floor slab to reduce the heat loss from the edges of the floor. Although polystyrene is not a "green" product it does improve the insulation rating of the walls and therefore the energy efficiency of the house. The polystyrene can be recycled at the end of the buildings life, so we are reliant on people a long way in the future doing the right thing.
