Between the days I will insulate and clad the sloped surfaces in the attic.

It might be better to carry out these works after drying heating. There are examples here of moldy plasterboards during the construction phase ... detailed discussion gladly in a separate thread.

Today, as already announced, we worked on insulating the attic. One slant is almost done - two panels are still missing.

First, 200mm of mineral wool was cut to size with an electric keyhole saw, then clamped between the rafters, the vapor barrier was connected to the existing membrane at the central purlin and pulled up, and all transitions in the foil and from the foil to the wall were sealed. Then battens were screwed under the rafters and 22mm OSB panels were added underneath.

As you can see from the wiring chaos, the gas boiler, hot water tank, and the main unit of the controlled residential ventilation system will find their place in the attic, which in turn means more space in the basement.

Air exchange can still take place in the slants on the upper floor (plaster and screed are still drying), and by the end of the second week of January, the plumber and electrician want to be ready so that we can turn on the heating.

How do you get the stuff up there? Do you have a proper staircase or do you make a hole somewhere in the roof?

The opening for the pull-out ladder is present, but the pull-out ladder itself has not yet been installed. A regular ladder is placed there, and then the items can be taken up.

The final result from last Thursday looked like this. However, a wall still needs to be installed approximately under the ridge, on which the boiler can be hung. And the ventilation ducts are annoying.

how high is the first? 1.80?
I’m just imagining the plumber working there on the heater...
