But not from here.
Ive heard of rockwook but never thought much about it. Looked it up. It's made out of stone wool! Now I might be a dim, ditzy, blonde, but even I know you can't shear a stone.  I'm off to research.

Spare bedroom ceiling is nearly fully insulated. It’s noticeable already. Not quite so echoey in the house and we’ve still got a lot to do.
A friend came round today and helped us get the MVHR unit in the attic and hung on the wall.
. We can finish connecting the up soon.

Today I put up a couple of bits of insulation. Then got annoyed because for every bit I put up now. I have to move 10 things out of the way. So I downed tools and went to the attic. Moved lots of stuff around to make space. Then started moving stuff from all over the house to the attic. Just stopped for a little break. Will be back at it in a minute. Bob will be needed for the heavy and bigger boxes. He’s past a few up to me already.

That 95% of the 75mm sound proofing insulation done. Just a little bit more in the utility room to do. Either needs plumbing stuff done or can’t reach because stuff in the way. This is the dinning room
.
Still have most of the 50mm to put into the non structural walls. Which I’ll try tomorrow. But it might have to wait until there’s plaster board on one side.
