Todays effort

The drains are now prepared, old gully that was set above DPC has been broken out and the pipe including its concrete shroud have been cut back to a sound collar ready for the new gully to be set in at least one course below DPC. The toilet drain has also had the same treatment and is ready to be extended from the collar into a new soil pipe taking both the new loos. I've made temporary connections so as the old loo can still be used for the time being and the rainwater pipe from the guttering will also run to drain.
The loft now has all of the celotex that I had in it - about seven 8'x4' sheets have disappeared! Looks like I'll need many more, anyone got any 100mm PIR insulation board (Celotex, Kingspan, Recticel, Ecotherm or similar) going spare? I could of had the loft insulated to current building regs under the government grant scheme but the grants only available if you use 270mm of fibreglass which renders the loft useless as storage space. Putting 100mm of PIR between the joists gives the same 'U' value as 270mm of fibreglass and means I can board over it and use the huge loft space. Trouble is it's so expensive that I've been trying to get the sheets cheap by buying surplus whenever it becomes available..... I need to find some more urgently!
