Malc, that looks spot on mate! 8-)

I reckon you should crack open an Old Thumper, sit back and admire the graft.

Sorry, didn't know my last post would start a new page. Can be very annoying when you've just uploaded a series of piccies.

Cheers, Chaps.

Andy, that's beauty of this product; a DIYer like me with the help of a mate can have it up in less than a day.

Cheers, Paul. Already opened and half drunk!

Everybody else, look back a page!!

Ah, that's jogged a memory. I've seen that stuff at a trade show. Even close up it doesn't look too bad.

Thank you, Gents.

I could do with some advice, please.

My next job will be to fill the wall voids with insulation. The panels started out at 600mm between studs, but that had to be adjusted narrower in places around the build.

What insulation would you recommend to achieve a reasonable level of insulation against cold as well as with acoustic properties.

I am presuming semi-rigid blocks, but do they squash up enough below their nominal widths?

Cheers.

I've used Celotex Malc, sawn down to 10mm narrower than the gap and foam gunned in place.

100mm between rafters and 50mm under that, but for yours I would go with whatever the stud depth is less an airgap to be left on the outside. So whatever you can fit in there.

Mike uses rockwool batts stuffed in so maybe an alternative, cheaper too.

I was worried about making a nice rockwool mouse house so I have opted for celotex seconds from seconds and co.

Malc, that looks very good.

I have seen that roofing used locally. Quick, easy and very light compared to tiles.

A serious halestorm (golf ball size) will leave a few dents.

Thanks, Gents.

Rockwool Batts, it is, then.

Hopefully, Phil, we won't get those type of hailstones, but with current weather patterns, that's not out of the question. However, as they're screwed onto the flat OSB surface, it might not be too bad. I trod on one or two bits and got a bit of a dent. Gives it character!

I once put some rock wool in the wood burner to see what would happen. Result.... Nothing apart from getting sooty.

Nothing must to report (unlike some other threads!! :D ) but I've painted the OSB facia with that MSP stuff and I rather like the effect it has with the charcoal colour of the roof.

Cavity batts, lightweight breathable membrane and counter battens ordered, but no work till next week; off to a family wedding tomorrow.

Then, I will be trying to source the feather edge cladding from a local Devon forest.

BTW Mods, cracking job with the photo upload work. And the lightroom effect makes even my 'shop look good!!

Malc,

On your first photo above, it looks like the roofing sheet edges are not tucked under the barge board capping?

Might be an illusion - hopefully

Yes, I think it might be, Bob. The barge board profile is about 150mm wide on the roof so that with the 150mm the other end, the whole roof panels can be centralised over them. The profile is shaped so that any rain that falls on the barge board between the gable end and the first line of panels will run down and not sideways.

Just had getting on for 18 hours of rain, and all appears to be watertight....apart from the absence of doors, that is.
