Started cavity insulation today

I got a 200 liter bag of styrene granules 4 years ago to insulate the hot water tank, it's great stuff, flows like water and fills up all the nooks and crannies.
I've notice a huge benefit in the hot water since doing it so decided today to use the stuff to insulate the wall cavities.

I drilled a 35 mil hole in the outside wall about 4 feet from the ground and filled a garden watering can with the granules to see how it would go.
It was great, the granules flowed in no problem, in about an hour I poured in 100 liters, it may take a wile to finish the job but I aint doing anything these days so I've all the time in the world.

I always new the Scottiish were tight with their money, but that's just taking the pi55.

The only money you are going to make is by selling boxes of tissues, as I've now got tears in my eyes from laughing so much.

Just out of interest when are you planning on finishing it. Christmas this year or next?
