Wet screed going down

An important deadline was hit today with the wet screed going down on the ground and basement.  We need to wait 2 months for it to dry so it was importatn to get it down as soon as possible. Thursday was spent pegging and taping down the pipes and sorting out heating after lots of scare stories about floating pipes and freezing weather breaking the screed.

Pipes all ready
Screed going in, has to be 20mm or more below the windo to leave space for tiling.

Final tamping down, looked really weird later when all the water sat on the surface, just like a swimming pool.

Windows in and underfloor heating going down

Glass in the windows so getting drier. All ground and basement pipes down ready for testing and screed on Friday.

Scaffold gone off the back

The plan was for all the scaffold to go today but ......

Glass going in

How heavy is glass

We had hoped to fit some Windows before measuring for the big window, but as glass is being delayed we calculated the load and got 13 svelte builders to stand on the beam. The beach did move but only 1mm.

Glass !

Yesterday we got frames today the first pieces of glass.
