Is the house already built? Is it a tin or concrete roof?

I'm guessing they mean the expanded polystyrene? (Aeroboard). Is the problem rodents chewing through it or what?

How about this stuff? I know it costs a lot more but works very well.

OK ali b, I've done all the leg work for you, not because I like you but because I want to claim the large finders fee that you are offering.


The first two photoes are at 102 Mou se Toung , opposite the Parkway center. 1.2 m wide by 50 m roll. price $137.

Third photo is at 148 Mou Se Toung about 50 m from the first shop. 1.2 m wide by 50 m long roll, priced at $125.

Good on you dunc, I would like to have a drink with you. Rock wool is great insulation and very cheap compared to the west. Polystyrene and silver paper, give me fucking strength.

I would suggest you search an expert to install and the expert you can find out by searching on Google. There are so many websites which help to search these services.
