That’s probably a better idea than going to see Alan’s piles.   😉

Blue patches are the ‘handiwork’ of the dodgy wood fibre blowers-in. This was their solution to me asking, 1/2 way through the job, whether they had thought about the gable and eaves overhangs. They obviously hadn’t looked at the drawings I sent them or even looked at the building before they started.

I have blue Tescon patches on the inside of my SmartPly Airtight panels and roof membrane where holes were made to pump the cellulose

They’re not exactly ‘colour-sympathetic’, but why is this ‘dodgy’? Is there more to this?
