Happened to notice a new build going up and dump some goodies in a

the time I go back!
A couple of years ago I managed to find a skip near a commercial build
which had around 6 bales of shrink wrapped soundpoofing rockwool
slabs.

When I was struggling with floorboard-sanding operations and found
that some boards had been wrecked in a couple of rooms, one of my
neighbours kindly decided that their dirty old victorian floorboards
needed to be replaced with some nice clean chipboard. So rather than
paying an astronomical price for a poor match at an architectural
salvage yard I got replacement boards from the same batch which the
builder originally used in 1875 (plus a few spares in reserve).

Cheers!
