Didn’t quite appreciate just how much we had managed to stuff into the container. Some bits at the back I couldn’t get to on my own had got a little surface mould on them. Not bad considering we stuffed everything in there last minute on a drizzly Friday afternoon before the yard closed in October 2019. Some vinegar spray and a bit of elbow grease sorted most things. We had time to get things packed back up in a much more organised fashion after most got a wee scrub and we put together the wardrobes and the bed frame. Just as we got everything together the sunset shone right through the bedroom window onto the furniture. I must admit it did leave me feeling rather pleased with our choices despite this build having very nearly beaten me into submission multiple times recently. Haha, please ignore my dad pretending his shadow is a strongman..
Also heard back from building control and have a solution for the stove flue. Going to add two twin wall 45 degree bends higher up and that’ll take us past the truss ok and we have to mastic some fireboard to the truss as a bit more protection. Apparently you have to stick it on with mastic rather than screw it as heat has been known to travel through screws into the trusses. We don’t have to get bigger heatshields either!
