External wall insulation and cladding materials waiting to be installed
This week saw a last minute change to the choice of decorative finish for the external wall cladding. This caused a slight delay as new materials had to be ordered. Then when Transcast arrived onsite to deliver materials before starting work they pointed out several problems with the scaffolding. It emerged that the scaffold currently in place is not appropriate for the nature of the cladding work. A compromise had to be reached in order to minimise the extra costs associated with scaffold adjustments, nevertheless a number of adjustments will have to happen.
In the midst of these discussions the following work was completed this week:
- New showers installed at both houses
- Solar PV system installed at the second house
- Pyranometers and water meters installed at both houses
- All new window and door installations completed at both houses
- Heating pipes lagged where necessary
Bowater installing one of their new "Smart Sash" windows
Installing the pyranometer on the chimney to monitor the solar irradiation
