Blast off - Frog End goes Space Age

Yesterday we finally completed the underfloor insulation in the dining room and replaced the floor boards. Just in time before the builder returns today.

Before

After

Both the kitchen and the hall have solid floors which will heat up and cool down very slowly. The dining room and living room floors however are suspended over a large air gap that is the same temperature as the outside air. Having the insulation is already making a huge difference by stopping the drafts that were coming up from under the floor. Here's a photo of the other side of the room looking towards the hall.

The new water pipe is now in the living room, so at some stage that floor will have to be lifted too to route the pipe through the outside wall. We can also insulate under the living room floor at the same time.
