HOUSE WRAPPING !

A mini catch up with porch project.


While I was off at Dentist's Paul was house wrapping! I love that this insulation paper is called Housewrap! This paper is water and wind proof and goes on the outside to help seal the building from both.


So all the walls are now wrapped and have had the batons added, that the cement board will be attached to, which forms the final outer skin or wall. This will be rendered once the door and side panel have been fitted.


So a day of rest tomorrow while we wait for the delivery of more insulation for inside and also the cement board.

Had a phone call today to say the wallpaper I wanted for the bathroom had been discontinued!!!! disaster!! I had changed a couple of things in the bathroom to match with this wallpaper due to it's colour! and these would be no good as we all fell in love with this wallpaper when normally you'd not actually chose it for a bathroom! So I told the lady I would try and source it elsewhere! so straight on the internet and within minutes I had found someone with the paper in stock! But not trusting to their website, I phoned to make sure and it will be here within a couple of days!! Disaster averted! Phew !

to be continued....

  3. 'I live and learn' as the saying goes!
    Excellent porch 'wrapping'! By the sound of this, it should hopefully help with the keeping in of the 'indoor' warmth.

    PS. Can we be seeing a photo of the mentioned bathroom wallpaper as soon as it arrives?

      Paul's banned me from showing any wall paper until it's on the walls of the finished room! Sorry! :)
