Bigger image (48.9 KB)	I have made my decision, insulation material of the floor has to be changed. Old insulation material was a mixture of chop of a wood cutter and dry hay. In fact, it's not so bad, but I wanted to be sure what is beneath of the floor. So, the new insulation will be as high-tech as the old one: New chop of a wood cutter! There is a reason for that: There is a risk that it can get just a little moist due the fact that the lower floor is not heated. It's possible that the moisture can absorb through the concrete slab of the floor. Solution: Because the chop of the wood cutter is wood (really ;-)) it can dry up independently, if ever gets moist. Technique is quite low-tech but works really well. (used centuries in Finland)
