Day 108 - Screed Complete

We have a floor!

The screeders have done a great job and the new floor looks first class. I can only take shots from the doorway at the moment as we can't walk on it yet but after Christmas it should be solid enough for us to march on.

They did however make a bit of a mess - I have them coming back tomorrow to clean up after themselves!

   

Day 106 - Ready to Screed

The ground floor damp proofing, insulation and heating loops are in now and looking great. The concrete arrives tomorrow, so there's just enough time to get the remaining underfloor pipe work and electrics in place before the pour.

    

Day 104 - We're Back!

The banks have been useless but with a lot of hard work and a good dose of luck we're finally back in business and work is underway once again.

The ground works have been completed on the exterior; the drains are in for both foul and surface water with a pump house half way up the drive.

The plumbing is underway with the underfloor heating system arriving on site on Tuesday last week and the ground floor insulation and screed are being laid today and Thursday.

Andy and I completed the guttering as well last Tuesday, hooking up the down pipes to the underground pipework that links into the rainwater harvester.

It's all go!
