I know you are not talking to me, Taffy. but still I have to say what the construction persons did by placing the batons (we call this 2 x 4) on the isolation layer is horrible. It's one of the worst construction mishaps I ever saw.

If I said that I was in error; if one posts on a forum one should answer all, otherwise we create cliques.

Multi-skilled, eh! that's impressive. I have de-groaned that area- just two more areas in the lounge to attend to, then I can think about the 'Cumulus Cloud 9' underlay, which is bought and in the garage. We decided to relay the existing carpet, mainly because the logistics of moving furniture would be a nightmare.
