A furious Scots homeowner was left sleeping on the floor of his home in a sleeping bag for weeks after "shoddy" insulation work was left unfinished. Nick McGaw, 49, lives in a cottage in Hillside, near Montrose in Angus and applied for wall insulation in his 'draughty' 100-year-old property, through a grant scheme.
However, after clearing out all his furniture and preparing his home to be insulated by removing fittings and furnishings from the walls in January, Mr McGaw said that months later, some of the work was still left unfinished.
While waiting for tradesmen to finish the work, Nick said he had no choice but to stay in the property and that although he had expected a period of upheaval, he was forced to rely on friends and family to cook meals, have showers and use the toilet while he was left sleeping on the floor.
