  1. Looking at the glue lines is a good way to check if you will have any issues - if they are swelled up and foamed properly then there won’t be a problem as the glue will have sealed all the edges. A sharp floor scraper will clear them off when they are properly cured. The problem usually occurs when they aren’t sealed on cut edges around openings and similar - brushing on some glue will help.

  2. Some things to add to your to-do list: 1) All the penetrations (MVHR, electrical, CCTV, gas, water, whatever etc) through the external walls BEFORE they blow in the cellulose. It's a difficult thing to do afterwards.... It means you will have to start planning external lighting, external power, CCTV, satellite dishes, aerials etc. 2) Fascias and soffitts (not sure of your roof construction) whilst all the scaffolding is in place 3) Make provisions to control the rainwater off the roof, at the earliest opportunity. Fit gutters and temporary downpipes. Get the water into rain water system, if installed but at least get it away from the house. 4) Noggins on external framework for everything that needs to be attached - satellite dishes, aerials, balcony fixings, etc, etc 5) When is your scaffolding coming down? Can you complete the groundnworks for drains, rainwater connections etc whilst the scaffolding is still in place? You're doing well, keep going....

  3. I wish I could offer some advice but I'm still in 'sponge' mode and just soaking up your output so I can only offer encouragement. From what you say it looks like you've got pretty much everything covered but I suspect wise wo/men will be along soon to highlight any omissions in your planning. Good luck with it all.
