We've been working away on insulating and plasterboarding, got all the walls insulated and covered, and as pictured below we've got the ceiling insulated, now completely insulated with between 2" and 60mm of kingspan insulation. The reason for the 2 different thicknesses is because that is what I was able to get off my brother who had some left over from building his house. Following that picture I finished off the insulation, then taped all the joints to seal any air leaks ( I believe that the efficiency of this type of insulation depends on an air-tight fit ) Then my dad and I cut and fixed 2 sheets of plasterboard to the ceiling, they were the hardest as they were as-good-as full sheets, the rest will be about half-sheets, so much easier to handle. The drop in noise from the outside is great, much reduced! The next session should see the rest of the ceiling boarded, then it'll be taping the joints and then covering with compound. Tim |

Eric --- End quote --- There's not much call for cooling in Ireland, :palm: but yea I will be heating it, probably just an oil-filled radiator on a thermostat to keep the temperature around 10-12C to keep the damp/rust away without costing too much, then when I'm working in the workshop I'll raise the temp a few degrees to make it comfortable. --- Quote from: Stilldrillin on March 20, 2013, 03:03:56 PM ---Tim.
