April 26: Our "secret cellar"

Bottles installed in our thermal mass wall for the pantry

April 20: insulation and Phase Change Material installed

The upstairs rooms,  as well as being well insulated are having phase change materials (PCMs) installed to help  moderate temperatures.

April 19: I need a drink

Bottles are cleaned and filled ready for our thermal mass wall. We have around 110 bottles to install.

April 17: Data cabling completed

To save a little cash and fopefully future proof ourselves a little we ran our own data cabling.  Of course it was a good opportunity to take some more photos before the plaster goes up next week.

The scaffolding was picked up this morning

Our new bath!
