Insulation


The horrible job of installing the fibre glass batts is now underway with Mrs DIY aka the 'bat lady' all covered up to stop the sharp fibre from getting at any exposed skin (itchy!).
When this is completed we can get the building inspector to give the OK to start putting up the drywall, this really means we are at last getting near the finish of the build.

Bankers...

The drama goes on with MasterCard (See Oct 2008) they still cannot answer my letters (5) and phone calls (about 6) on why I'm still being charged for some crook who is using my credit card around the world.
I've just received a dispute form re the disputed items, this is the 3rd time I've done this, maybe 3rd time lucky!
What a bunch of incompetent nits, maybe they need to be awarded the order of the bin liner!

Update

The build is progressing quite well at the moment, with all the external doors and windows fitted, so I can now lock up the building, this means I don't need to put my tools away in the container.
This little exercise usually took about half an hour, which was a real drag at the end of the day.
The roof spouting is fitted so any rain now gets diverted.
We should be able to start the internal lining by the end of next week - this will be another milestone.
Had last Saturday off... my aunts 100th birthday! had a little party at the retirement home, she got her message from the Queen congratulating her on reaching 100, my sister had come over from Perth, it was quite fun with all the residence joinng in (really just sitting there and eating BD cake).
So as well as sis seeing M & F and the Birthday party she was able to check on the building progress personally, great to see her and PJ (husband).
