We have a floor

The ground floor under floor heating has been installed and the concrete floor laid over the top.

The floor should be dry when the workforce returns after the Christmas Holiday.

Then all steam ahead.

We have windows

It was all hands on deck today.

The plumbers were putting pipes in the kitchen and utility room and the floor preparation was underway.

Celetex insulation is going down on the block and beam floor and that will be followed by the underfloor heating next week.

On Wednesday (subject to weather) 3" of cement and floor screed will be applied to all the ground floor.

The floor should dry out over Christmas so work should not be interrupted on return in January.

The window fitters were on site as well. They are fitting the first floor windows at the front.

Things are taking shape and we hope the weather holds and the snow and ice stay away.

Plastering

The upstairs is being plastered and should be finished tomorrow.

The downstairs floor is being prepared for underfloor heating and the new floor should be laid next week and will hopefully be drying out over Christmas.

Big freeze halts build

Progress has been a bit slow on site as sub zero temperatures halted the plastering, frozen pipes and freezing temperatures stopped the plasterers working. The chippies have been heros, only missing 2 days.

Well now the plastering is underway and the side roof has been completed.

We have moved houses and all appears to be going well in that department.

I will attempt to get some photos uploaded this week.
