About Wednesday about 10 days ago the brick layers started laying the bricks. I have been driving past every day to check what they have been doing and on the Friday I noticed that they hadn't put the insulation between the two layers of walls (inner leaf and outer leaf). The builder had told me that the brick layers should erect the outer leaf, put the insutlation on that and then erect the inner leaf. They hadn't done that. I rang him the next morning to innocently ask if he had seen any insulation, because I couldn't see any! I knew full well it wasn't there. He rang back on the Monday and said that they could just cut the ties between the walls (bits of steel wire used to keep the walls attatched to each other) and then pull out a couple of bricks and then put the insulation in. HHHMMM I thought, so I rang him back the next morning to tell him that I knew how it was meant to be done. He was on his way there and said he'd have a look and if worse came to worse they would have to pull down the inner leaf and start again.
Imagine my joy when I drove past that afternoon and the inner leaf had been taken down. I was very happy, because if that hadn't happened I was going to have to insist that it be done properly!
Wednesday morning when I drove past I could see that they had put the insulation up and were re-doing the inner leaves.
Now they have almost finished both walls at the back and the garage is almost done too.
