The project focuses on installing reclaim beams and blueboard to improve air tightness and ventilation in homes. Reclaimed timbers are used for architectural features, while beam installation ensures structural support. Blueboard is essential for plastering, contributing to air tightness. Blower door tests help identify leaks for energy efficiency, and an ERV system is installed for fresh air circulation. The team is acknowledged for their work, with upcoming tasks including boarding and plastering.
