When you have 6m high walls in the living room, and sloping walls following the roofline upstairs, the process of applying VC foil is a lengthy and slow one.
Before we got to this stage we had to seal the SIP panel gaps and tape them all. After we’ve got all the VC foil up on the walls this will also be taped.
This is all to ensure that we have as much in the way of air and moisture barrier and insulation as possible before the plasterboard goes on.
It looks like shiny wallpaper.
We are gradually getting there.

We actually use this as a ceiling in the humpy. Just that layer of foil (which we call sisalation) keeps the internal temperature at least 10 degrees cooler or warmer (depending on the season) than the outside. It unfortunately also provides a lovely hammock for possums to sleep in during the day.

Interesting! Ah, possums. Not a problem that we’re likely to have here on Skye. We do get Pine Martins though. Almost as cute.

Oh my goodness! I had to go and google pine martens. They are so amazingly beautiful. I bet they are great at keeping the mice down too.

Yes, I’m sure they are. You have to be careful with chickens though as they will steal the eggs and kill the birds given half a chance. But aren’t they cute. Very shy animals

Very cute. We have snakes, phascogals, quolls, cats and dogs who all eat chooks here… oh and goannas. Chook pens need to be built to withstand a zombie apocalypse really.

Hi Guys,
Really great to meet you both last week and see the progress on the house! You really do have a great spot up there!
I’m sorry if I came across a bit “Annie Wilkes”…
As I mentioned, we have a free pair of hands here keen for work if you need any help over the next few weeks! My email (no spaces) is conor bolas (at) hotmail co uk
I hope the hail showers we are getting right now are not too bad up there! At least the sun peers through occasionally.
Cheers
Conor
