One BIG event I forgot about - on Friday, Paul Jennings (the Man With A Fan) came to check our airtightness - this is a requirement. Measured in air changes per hour - super eco is less than 1, average house about 10 (draughty) and modern houses about 7.

We came out to about 1.5 and we expect to be able to get lower when we bung up a few draughty spots. So we are deeply chuffed.

He does the test by taking off the front door and putting a fan in instead which sucks the air out and then he checks where the leaks are coming in. Good photos.
