I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend so far, despite the cold and rainy weather.
This weekend, we were responsible for organising the insulation for all the internal walls in time for plastering to start this coming week. Earlier in the week, Ben went and got a couple of quotes for supply-only versus supply and install of the insulation. As it turned out, it was only a few hundred dollars extra to have the professionals come and install the insulation, so we decided to take them up on that option and take back our long weekend! Glad we did - the installers turned up on site at 7.30 am on Saturday, and by 11.00 am they were done - it probably would have taken Ben and I the whole weekend. We are also very pleased with the overall job the guys from
Hutton Insulation did - they were very quick, tidy, and friendly, and we would gladly recommend them to anyone.
The other positive point is that the room sizes did not appear to shrink noticeably once the insulation was installed (as we had originally feared) - plenty of light coming through too.

In terms of Keogh's progress this week, we have now officially reached lock-up stage! The electrician and the plumber have both been in and done their stuff, although I think that we may need to get the plumber back again as it looks like the shower-head in the en suite has been put on the wrong wall.
