Might need to upgrade my log delivery system. I was thinking a treadmill directly into the stove itself. 😁

It would be very cruel to make your wife work a treadmill like that

She better not see thirst read or I’ll be in trouble.

At no point did I say she needs to get on a treadmill to lose lock-down weight [emoji51][emoji16]

Was it icynene open cell or chemical closed cell foam?

We used closed cell on our refrigerated store years ago before icynene was on the market and can quite understand how it might cause problems by  making the wood sweat.  Our store seems to be ok but we do not keep chickens in it.  It was done in the 1970s.

All I can go on is our experience from 2009 with icynene  and I feel fairly  sure that if there was a problem with icynene then we would have seen it by now after twelve years of severe weather up here on an exposed hill top.

No idea whether open cell or closed cell foam just spray on insulation but timber looked perfect.

Undoubtedly closed cell.

There is so much stuff on the web that it is hard to find the truth.  Just look at the Ukraine at the moment

The dangers of closed cell foam were well known when we looked into icynene, we did our research and have been really thankful for the way it has changed out house and it has not shown any signs of a problem since it was applied in 2009.

We have put it in between the floor joists in the attic and in between the felt and plasterboard in the dormer roof. So there has been no direct contact with the pantiles.  I could see  that there could be a problem if a firm had tried to use it to fix loose tiles on an unfelted roof

I know someone that built some log stores the same size as the French Doors on his house. He just lifts them into place in front of the doors with the tele handler. 3 cube of wood available 4 steps from the fire with an insulation improvement for the single glazed doors [emoji1]

Now that’s a very clever idea! 
 

Hmmmm. 😁

Unless the doors open outward.... All winter starring at the logs but a cold stove as it's a long walk around the house from the front door to get some 🤣
