A visit to theĀ ecofab factory in Bodmin reveals stacks and stacks of numbered panels. They house will hopefully go together in the planned order, so they are made in the order that they can come out of the factory and go to site.
In the above photo you can see a compressed cube of sheep wool that is put inside all of the boxes. There are bundles of this in the corner:
a few bits of which made it to my car (with permission):
It’s a “waste” product from sheep leather for high end cars (Bentley cars included, apparently), so it depends on what the wool was for as to whether it is white, another natural colour or dyed. Apparently a chunk of the wool bundles come from “Eastern Counties” (name of the firm I think).
The above floor / roof panel has horizontal bracing.
Wall panels have tick vertical boards and mesh across to prevent it all falling and bulking to the bottom.
The panels have different materials, such as bit-rock (for under the building to prevent rodent attack), the OSB 3 board (the main wooden sheets), cement board or 18mm structural ply.
The panel below is box 201, which will be the SE corner of the lounge at the south of the building.
