Nearly there!

We're moving our furniture into Lowben Drive this weekend!
We've bought and erected new beds for the kids, and they're very excited about moving in.
Our painter has finished finally, after dragging it out from <2weeks to nearly 4!
We're very annoyed with him actually, as now we're doing the final clean we realise he didn't use his dust sheet for every coat - we're now scraping it off flooring, worktops & hearths, and cursing him.
If you want something done properly...
We're awaitng the final inspection from Building Control, then we can swap from self build mortgage to regular mortgage and save a few quid, and set the wheels in motion with HM Revenue & Customs regarding reclaiming the VAT.
No pics this post - they'll act as spoilers to anyone who's due to visit shortly. I promise to post some soon, just got to poplish the floors first.
Plan to concrete the garage floor tomorrow morning. as well as being removals man.
A new part of the building regs aims at minimising heat loss via leaks in the fabric of the building. This is checked on completion by carrying out an air test on the property. A large fan is fitted and sealed over the front door frame, and the house pressurised, and the pressure loss measured over time. Generally a house is designed to limit losses to 10 cubic meters per square meter at 50Pa, although by carefully following certain building details 7.5 can be acheived.
Knowing this was immenent I dutifully sealed around every service penetration, made sure I had good joints on all the laps in the vapour membrane; and it all paid off.
Lowben Drive acheived 3.45 - the lowest the engineers had ever recorded!
Maybe we should build houses full time ;-)
(at least i've something to fall back on!)
Do come and visit soon, and experience Wislocki Towers
