New Floor and No Scaffolding














On Friday of Week 4 the newly laid pipework for the Under Floor Heating (UFH) was covered in concrete. Now up to date I thought a screeded floor was wet and sloppy cement bought to site in a big cement truck and piped in to the house. No, this was laid as a dry mix by two chaps who'd been doing it for years. A 4:1 mix with added glass fibers to add strength was tipped on a tarpaulin, on the road outside Number 1.  The mix was barrowed in to the bungalow and the guys produced a fab new floor. By the following morning the floor was rock hard. Also by the following morning the scaffolding round the bungalow came down.
