Something for nothing


In this day and age it's not often that you get something for nothing but today we did.
It all started last week when a couple of guys turned up at the door offering to fit cavity wall insulation to the house for free. Your immediate reaction is 'go away' but they promised that there was no catch, it would be paid by the government and it would be completed the next week within a couple of hours.
As it happened they were doing the same work on the house opposite and because I reckoned that he is a canny kind of guy (see how northern/scottish I've become) we decided to have it done as well.
Frankly the house is always pretty warm but I thought that an extra layer of insulation (even if there was one already fitted) would do no harm. They arrived as promised this morning and finished the job on time.
Toasty.

  1. I'd be worried they found my ex wife in there :)

    Seriously though - the level of insulation in British homes is mind bogglingly bad - I'm glad something is being done about it!

  2. There would be no room for your ex wife because mine's already in there!
