I've been anxiously hoping to add something to the blog of value over the last month, but frankly the weather has beaten us all and I think it's unlikely to relent before Christmas. Our last site presentation included only a restricted walk round the site because so much of the site and scaffold was frozen and icy. Hopefully the visits and presentations have been informative, we certainly get some good feedback. See other blog entries for more details on these.
The blocks are now all complete in terms of superstructures, and felt and batten is halfway there but the weather has even held that up!
Windows have arrived and everyone is very excited by the quality of the product, even though they still sit securely in the container. Given that they are already triple glazed, they are quite heavy, (hence the debate regarding fixings), and manouvering them on an icy site may be problematic.
The external insulation has also arrived so we really just need the weather to clear and we can get progress moving again.
It looks like we have secured a great monitoring arrangement with the UEA and we shall be installing some telemetry in one of each of the different units to provide feedback on the energy use of the properties, hopefully over a two year period.
In the meantime, Happy Christmas to all our readers and we look forward to reporting real progress in the new year!
