Chickity Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 The block work really makes the footprint increase clear. So much more room for activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepers Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 all the footings/piles/under floor concrete is done now. the digger will be here Thursday to clean out the clay and whatnot then its in with the hard fill and they can pour the slabs. floor gets poured late next week. and then everything up t floor level is finished. 2017-06-06_04-09-10 by sheepers, on Flickr 2017-06-06_04-09-27 by sheepers, on Flickr 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty360 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 What was the plan with leaving the old floor? rather than just pouring a complete new slab ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cletus Posted June 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2017 I hope you put some "artefacts" in the hard fill for people to find in the future, like m head gaskets or something. theres a house in Whitford that has a retaining wall full of chev engine bits and general workshop scrap courtesy of my boss and an apprentice clint. 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sheepers Posted June 11, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2017 pretty keen to do a poo and then concrete over it. that ll confuse the archaeologists. anywho in other news i had to remove all the flooring because it was full of holes and was fucked. this was super gay because its a cunt of a job but its done now. still have to tidy up all the old insulation but there isint a bin on site at the mo so it can wait for a couple of days. what this means is that the whole floor will be laid with ply then the timber flooring will be bonded to that. it gives the builder the opportunity to plane any lumps off the floor joists and better access to replace the rotten joists under the old bath. we'll tidy up under the floor a bit better than we could have before and it will make laying the polythene easier. 2017-06-11_03-18-24 by sheepers, on Flickr 2017-06-11_03-18-36 by sheepers, on Flickr 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
