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)

Nearing the end (I hope) of the make things worse before they can get better phase.

Floorboards all up in both the lounge and the dining room. Still got to finish digging out the old fireplace in the dining room, and then I can start laying the breathable membrane for the insulation.

I also found out that newspaper is, apparently, the ideal material to stuff into gaps between the skirting board and the wall 🤷

Seems the skirting boards were last removed in 1993 - the lounge done in July (with the Echo) and the dining room in August (with Today, a newspaper I'd completely forgotten about)

@amcewen I sort of hope builders do it intentionally to date their work.

@LovesTha yeah, I have been pondering leaving some sort of time capsule under the floor when I put all the insulation down 😁
