So it seems a pallet of insulation and breathable membrane will be turning up at the new house on Friday.

Fingers crossed I did all my maths correctly and this is enough to insulate under the floors of the lounge and dining room.

First step complete. It has arrived (and I've since moved it all inside)

@amcewen Interesting .. what's the insulating material ? I have a very extensive, old larch floor, which could do with insulation under it ..

@annejohn I'm following this guide https://www.ecologicalbuildingsystems.com/post/suspended-timber-floor-insulation-best-practice-installation-guide (bought the materials from them too, although @smsm1 recommended https://www.celticsustainables.co.uk/ since)

I found that from @seanhood's reply to @coldclimate's thread https://hachyderm.io/@coldclimate/115895254945568678

(thanks all for sharing! 😁)

@amcewen how much of a faff is it? Very disruptive id guess

@coldclimate it's pretty disruptive, given the floorboards all need to come up and the skirting boards off.

This is what my lounge and dining room look like at the moment: https://mastodon.me.uk/@amcewen/116289463595472043

Obviously you don't need to do both at once, but I think you'd really want to be able to clear the room before tackling it.

Which is why I'm doing all this before I actually move in
