South East Cornwall Low Energy build

The concrete fill in the icf looks very neat and the walls look nice and straight.  No grout runs or bursts.

 

Do you build studwork against the walls for services and plasterboard?

Wow, well done and OMG re the necrotising fasciitis. I hope she's well on the mend now.

Such a good job, well done, so sorry to hear about your wife and hope she is on the mend. It’s times like those that puts life into perspective.

' ... the wife was struck down with Cellulitis that turned into necrotising fasciitis, which could have led to sepsis....'

 

And what you don't say is that she could therefore easily have died. I really deeply , from bitter personal experience, hope she is on the mend. Really. deeply ....

 

In my case, a cat bit me. A favourite, much loved playful cat.

Cant take a joke? Dont keep a cat

Decision to be made. There is a post somewhere about hot knifing pipe and conduits runs into the insulation. In fact I think I volunteered the site for someone to make video about it 😂

Some minor things I noticed when taking down all the bracing yesterday but nothing major

I didn't want to over dramatise  😂 but yes, the first of the 4 ops she has had has been marked up by the medical staff as a life saver

Whats needed now is to get her back out there grafting while you have a well earned rest

 

Good luck (with that)

Wishing you both all the best - that sounds like a truly frightening experience. We are down at the mo, and will be down regularly now until our build finishes. Do give me a shout if there's anything you need. M

Used shuttering boards at the moment 🙂
