Day 205-207. April 22 - 24 - Snug as a Bug in a Rockwool Rug

So, in between the stud work and on top of the insulation board, goes a thick wodge of ROCKWOOL^® insulation material, literally a stone wool – a blend of naturally occurring volcanic diabase rock.  If you're dying to know more about Rockwool insulation, performance and properties, check out the link.

Unfortunately, for the BarnBoys this is an itchy, scratchy job, but, uncomplaining as ever, they made a good start in the Dressing Room, Bedroom 2 and Recording Studio.

Ok, BarnBoys, what is it?

Well done, BarnBoys, two rooms ready for Big Barry, the plasterer, arriving on site today.  Better get baking!
