The last bit of soil pipe and inspection chambers that are close to the house are completed.

 

The ICF is delivered and by the end of the week we have the start of door and window openings.

The insulation is extruded polystyrene XPS 100mm each side of the concrete cavity. U value of  0.14

 

The windows have rebar in them before 50mm insulation closures are added.

 

At the weekend we had a yellow wind warning for the South West, our home weather station recorded top gusts of 40mph. I’m pleased to say the R-wall ICF survived with no problems.

 

Total man days of labour week 4 is 22 man days split between Groundworks and ICF builders.

 

The build is going on very close to our workshop entrance which makes the delivery of vehicles and test drives limited. This week we took delivery of a previous customers Jensen CV-8 which now has a new owner who has sent it to us for further works over winter.5CE93118C029_20240923100954281.thumb.jpeg.1469e2ec8787e7f54fd68eb9972f0c53.jpegIMG_2406.thumb.jpeg.df32859442c1ed1b1568791e345a0c1f.jpegIMG_2407.thumb.jpeg.93ff8015277adfd14283b299564887e4.jpegIMG_2408.thumb.jpeg.6b67cab170bad915cd360f571a2dfaff.jpegIMG_2410.thumb.jpeg.4b37f62ea21b2f78841ee8623f89f410.jpeg5CE93118C029_20240927174921999.thumb.jpeg.d22e5e77c01a32daf3c40638978163d4.jpeg5CE93118C029_20240924222602625.thumb.jpeg.5d8c89efe4b3b31fdf3c10f00b40ac9e.jpeg

Jensen C-V8. Very nice.

So could the car in the banner picture be an Interceptor ... or maybe an FF?

The car in the banner is a Jensen Interceptor, both are customers cars.

I will eventually get a photo of a Jensen FF as it returns from the painters.

Is that the system that used to be called polar wall 

You can still get Polar Wall,  based in Exeter I think, this is extremely similar I don’t know what the difference is.

R-wall is based near Bude so very local for me and we have a few local builds.

Great blog Susie.  Love the information you are including.  Seemed to get out of the ground pretty quickly.

Yes we have been lucky on getting out the ground but the roof cost have gone up.

Not much is happening at the moment so next will be week 5 and 6.
