Watching the snow melt on rooves
Taking into account sunshine (It's briefly been sunny after a lot of
snow here) you can see who's got plenty of loft insulation (or no heating on) - on the semis there's a band inbetween properties where the dividing wall is that melts first. And on the house with the strange extension on the roof their snow melted first of all this morning. (It's a really strange dormer extension that sticks out at the side as well as the back - the one they had the huge amount of scaffolding for ages ago) So what can you do about the gap between houses? Is it a cavity up to the roof and should it be insulated? -- http://www.freedeliveryuk.co.uk http://www.holidayunder100.co.uk |

The one I was familiar with was a 9" brick wall up to about 2' below the roof, and a half brick wall from there up to the roof. the roof and should it be insulated? Might just be residual heat retained in the bricks from the previous day, keeping that bit of the roof warmer. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

Agreed, the reported comments from the coppers on the day doesn't show them at their best. |

I am reminded of the story of the tealeaf who went a-burgling in the snow. It didn't require a very observant copper to follow his footsteps home. Chris |
