After a "day off" yesterday, back today to get things running. Here is the site "office":



Today's main task for us was to start installing the Villavent mechanical heat recovery & ventilation pump. It will extract warm moist air, and draw in fresh air from outside; by using a heat exchanger, much of the heat will be kept in the house (and it has a summer by-pass, in case we get a hot summer!)
It has a lot of concertined metal tubing, different sizes, swathed in insulating wool & plastic.
This is Keith, taping the tubing & connectors:

This picture is of the exhaust tubing in the loft, that we have been stretching & connecting. The vertical piece is going to the air vent in the roof.

The minor task of the day was moving 40 sheets insulating board into the house (no pictures!)

Tomorrow we will probably stain the soffits & fascias if it is a nice day.
