| 1276463 | 2012-05-21 01:09:00 | I went for a job here which I didn't get and my role would have been going round doing the checking after each job. The owner of the firm told me that they have to now as they get independently assessed and if anything is wrong they could loose their accreditation and all those contracts with it | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1276464 | 2012-05-21 01:58:00 | Also there is silver paper under the floor which I'm fairly certain counts as sufficient insulation to disqualify me for the subsidy. Nah we had that under our floor too. Got rid of it, and it made a nice difference having *real* underfloor insulation. |

| 1276466 | 2012-05-21 03:12:00 | Concrete floors have their own issues, there are good reasons older houses were up off the ground with air allowed to circulate underneath. And it makes any future renovations much easier if you can get at the plumbing under the floor. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1276467 | 2012-05-21 07:20:00 | Houses up in the air give you a much better view of the floodwaters, although some of the concrete ones give a truly immersive experience. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 1276469 | 2012-05-21 07:44:00 | No Green Stuff on the quote? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1276470 | 2012-05-21 08:44:00 | Yup, KIWeco uses GreenStuf. Anything special about GreenStuf? | wallarro (11242) | ||
| 1276471 | 2012-05-21 09:10:00 | Is that horrible spray on insulation still being used? My sister has that in her house - it doesn't work very well & it is a pain in the ass if you need to do anything in the ceiling., Luckily my house has pink batts :) | Greven (91) | ||
| 1276472 | 2012-05-21 09:32:00 | I have 5 quotes from insulation companies ranges from mid 2000 to high 5000. I obviously want to go with the least expensive one but wondering if this is a case you get what you paid for? ie the more expensive, the better the insulation coverage are? Wallarro - the quotes you posted are $3.4k - 5.5k, which is a lot closer than what your original post said. Why is that? |
