claims google.
good morning! good morning!
yesterday the insulation people came. they were smart and pleasant. the woman (alice?) had some software on her phone that rendered photos as 3D plans (awesome). liam and alex wandered round with tape measures and little lazer distance meters getting the dimensions of the rooms, the size of the radiators, the boiler spec etc. later a chat about how the house was heated/ used. (horsemouth emailed off to them such stats about energy usage as he has from the bills).
so far pretty much a repeat of the EPC (energy performance certificate) process but here the intention is to have it lead on to a design for the retrofitting of insulation measures
an interesting fact that horsemouth took away was that while it might be less disruptive to fit external insulation (despite the scaffolding etc.) it was also more expensive than fitting internal insulation (horsemouth doesn't know if this is true when you take into account redecoration costs but we shall see). indeed it looks as if one member has already has (naughty naughty). further it seems like people who horsemouth expected would be having conniptions about the disruption internal insulation would cause have in fact become sanguine about it.
half the homes have been surveyed (another two more will be done thursday). there'll be another campaign in two weekends time to pick up the remainders. and then a meeting of the householders.
earlier horsemouth had been out for a walk with TG. later he farted about on the internet and watched the last episode of martin sheen's port talbot set thing and lost hearts (one of the bbc ghost stories for christmas). the martin sheen is a folly, but a generous folly. its take home message is the need to free oneself up from the ghosts of the past to let the new thing be born (but horsemouth doesn't see it that way). in lost hearts the ghosts show up to ensure justice.
tomorrow morning he has stuff to do. at the weekend there's something over minty's.
