Here's how we are handling the insulation of the length of windows - with a series of wooden frames stuffed with bubble wrap and backed with thick polyfilm:

With the floor in place quite some time ago, and the ceiling 'done' last week, attention turned to the walls. We're going to use a mix of techniques, and this side wall is getting a simple frame with fiberglas insulation. This was Sunday afternoon:

Here's a shot of the stack part-way through the process of doing the final trimming:

But while they are away, it means we can make a mess, and that's exactly what has been going on here for the past few days. Finally, we're moving forward again on the workshop construction in the room next door.

The next major step is to get the ceiling insulated, and for that we need a light 'frame' for the fiberglas batts, just the same as the one in the current workroom:

I took plenty of video all the way through of course, and here's the resulting 15 minute 'movie' showing the overall process:

Here's how it began:

What has that scene got to do with carving?

We received two boxes - as expected - and I had a look at the one marked 'woodblocks' first:
