Duckman Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hi, pic attached of what I'm on with, intending to do everything myself, tho increasing years and lack of hi ab meant i outsourced the oak frame for the roof. am currently about to start internal wall insulation using wood fibre with lime plaster over-coat... a route fraught with many pit falls, not least of which the crooks that sell the stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpd Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Welcome. Looks like a neat and tidy job. my projects is similar but I did not go down the “breathable” route. Instead I used pir insulation inside with a ventilation gap between it and the stonework. Very carful detailing on airtightness with the aim of installing an MVHR. I believe that once your committed yourself to the “breathable” route then you need to be very careful not to deviate from using the correct materials. If you have not found the (Green building forum) already then I would advise you to pop over and have a look as this is something much more common to them. Best of luck.
