Insulation and Flooring


      Despite the relentless rain, we made it to our site last Thursday.  We were so thrilled to see the advancements ! All of the insulation had been done.


In the roof, we have 16cm of Moko Foam, a foamy-type insulation. It looks like sprayed snow or whipped cream, but firmer! On all external walls, we have 8cm of the same insulation.


The thickness is verified using a thin blade inserted into the foam.  The foam flowing outside of the wooden frame is then cut out, leaving a flat surface.  The great thing about Moko Foam is that it doesn't leave any voids.  This VIDEO explains the properties and installation of this type of insulation. 


      We were also real happy to see that the flooring was being installed. This time it was Fukuzumi-san Junior who showed Yani the ropes: spread bond-type glue to the slat, place the slat so that that it interlocks with the previous one and adjust it with a piece of wood, place a few tacks and done!

Watch the experts in action!
