The electrical first fit is finished, with a maze of cables and conduits around the house. With the majority of the plumbing and electrical in we're almost ready to start plaster boarding the inside of the house, and certainly ready to start plastering the outside of most of it. Getting this done Sep/Oct is vital as temperature is important, too cold and the water in the plaster can freeze destroying the finish.
The Ceiling hangers are installed now, key was getting these in before the areas that require spray foam, such as the basement. Also installed for spraying is a stud partition on the retaining wall in the habitable areas of the basement the spray will flow in behind the stud and up 50mm on it, leaving a 20mm airgap behind.
So spraying starts today, and will take approx 4-5 days to complete. We had forgotten the Alarm 1st fix and scrambled to get a quote and fit this week - should be starting tomorrow, the spray foam contractor and the alarm fix will need to work around each other slightly as there are areas that have cable runs that need to be sprayed.
This week while that's going on, the priority is to order the outside render and inside slabs, to get a contractor to finish the job the other builder made a mess of and to get a steel mesh for the ICF where we're going to fix stone, as well as tidy up a list of snags before plastering.. Should keep me busy.
