Day 76 - Insulation Added to Roof

Week 17 - Day 76
Insulation is inserted between the ceiling and where the slates will be laid. This has to be done now as there will be no access once the laths are plastered and the roof slates are laid.
Nice to help the building be more economic to run in the future, saving energy and money.
