The build

I had to Google that for myself, as I'm clueless about where places are in Scotland........but I'm learning!

Early Monday morning Bob left on his journey to Preston to collect the sound proofing insulation. He got home on the first ferry Tuesday morning. We unloaded it into the porch.      . 37 bales do fit in there. Just. 
Today our first 2 wall have sound proofing           

More progress!! I hope Bob likes driving as he's doing a lot of it lately.

Another step forward. Fine pics.

Soundproofing? I can see it will also afford insulation, but are you anticipating wild parties and annoying the neighbours, or is it to drown out the sound of the sheep?

It maybe between rooms to drown out the sounds of snoring from the rest of the house!

As ever Veggie has pretty much hit the nail on the head.   . 

The house has to have sound proofing to stop noise carrying from room to room. Also in the ceiling to stop noise carrying. 
As with all Elements of building these rules and regs. In this case it’s a minimum amount of sound proofing you have to put into your building. We have tripled ours. That’s me assuming the numbers equate equally as they do in numerical terms. Big assumption on my part!

I did some more sound proofing today. It’s a job I don’t need Bob for . So I’m very happy to plod along by myself. Nearly finished all the 75mm stuff in the walls. Just a few sections that have wires or plumbing. So I’ve not done those bits yet. The rest of the 75mm goes in the ceiling cavity. Move on the 50mm stuff in the rest of the walls now they’re a different wall make up.

               

Is it fibeglass or rockwool or sheep wool or summat else?
