DPC on the Opes

Cills arrived today, not correct quantities to I will have to get onto them tomorrow morning.

Got onto the plumber and beat him down in price, he will start next week.

I decided to start DPC around each window and door. What you have to do is cut a strip above the opening about ½ inch above, then slip your DPC in under the breather membrane and staple them together onto the timber frame.
Then you fold the DPC down over the top of the window and staple in onto the batten.
You also do the same with the vertical battens, but you do not cut the membrane.
The vertical DPC is slipped under the horizontal DPC and stapled.

I thought I would fly this but due to the crap weather, rain rain rain, it was really slow. Only got 6 windows and 2 doors done!
Back tomorrow!
