julian if you have a rgb building supplies anywhere near you their 25 mm celotex is £14.28 a sheet. jewsons is £13.85. jewsons is another make but basically the same stuff PIR. it is worth haggling. i brought 10 sheets to do the yurt roof. i just told them i could get it online for 13.75 and  asked how close can you get to that price? after a lot of typing they came back with those prices.

That is quite annoying - I remember Bob telling me that when I saw him last - but I promptly forgot until he mentioned it here. There is a Jewson about 5 miles from me - which is much better than the Wickes which is 18 miles away in Plymouth (but I had to go there anyway to get some tools from Aldi).

Still - it is done now.

The disadvantage of hot cupboards in sheds is you'll get the police kicking your door in after they've been over the place with a helicopter and IR camera, because they think you'll be growing something you shouldn't ;)

Our reactors / settling drums give off enough heat to raise suspicions as it is,
I've often wondered when the "knock on the door" will happen.
