Progress

Still no pictures to upload - I'll do those soon...
We now have the loft completely insulated and the central area boarded out for storage. The decorative radiator in the kitchen and the heated towel rail in the bathroom are now fitted and connected to the heating circuit. The faulty Thermaskirt Thermovalve seat replaced and the Automatic Air Vent in the boiler cupboard moved so as it now works better. The heating system just needs it's final drain & flush then re-filling & dosing with inhibitor. The bathroom & kitchen now have the vinyl flooring fitted and the living room & bedroom now have carpet. All internal doors have had two coats of natural Oak varnish. New toilet (temporarily connected to drain) & basin installed in the bathroom. Old toilet removed and wetroom floor former down. Front door (internal side) & meter cupboards sanded & given first coat of oil based undercoat.

Bathroom extractor fan is in-adequate to prevent a build up of steam in the bathroom so we either upgrade it and the en-suite one or install a Mechanical ventilation & heat recovery system. We've got a system being quoted for at present and may well visit Ecobuild in March to investigate further.
