Cavity wall insulation

The neighbours had their cavity walls filled this week - you can barely see where the insulation way "injected" through the masonry, so it's about time I had it done on our house too.

Some friends nearby have also had it done, and they swear that they felt the difference almost immediately, but had to have the installers round again when they found that they had a terrible condensation problem in the loft where the insulation had overflowed and prevented air from getting into teh roofspace and circulating.

Anyway, in the New Year it is one of the things at the top of the "to-do" list.

Very good november

Just looked at our energy usage in november, and compared to previous years it is very good (I've updated the graphs - click on the images on the right on this page).

I know november has been quite mild, but our gas usage has been half of what it has been in previous years - turning the thermostat down by a couple of degrees has obviously made a big difference.
