Nicki  from Shear Comfort Wool Insulation is shown below in the roof of the festival house filling the ceiling with “supa fill”. Supa-Fill is a machine blown loose wool fibre product for the ceiling with a thermal rating ranging from R2.6. According to Nicki “Supa-Fill is a cost effective, quality insulation, which allows you to put your health and well-being first.” I checked out their product and it is soft and beautiful to touch! For more information on wool insulation check out their website: www.shearcomfort.co.nz

The nearly completed home!

Wow! I was just up the Wanakafest House and it is looking incredible! They have painted all the walls, the kitchen is nearly fitted. It is now fully carpeted, tiles, water is running… even the garage is carpeted! Well done to everyone involved in the project!

Here are some of the latest pictures from today:
