Floors, walls & ceilings

We're getting ready to lay the top concrete layer for the floors. Underneath that is a 100mm layer of foam insulation, which these days is a building regs requirement even if underfloor heating is not being fitted. The ceilings and some of the walls have been boarded as well, so it's becoming easier to visualise what the rooms will look like when finished.

Outside, most of the extension has been scratch-coated, ready for the render to be applied. This has thrown up a problem that I hadn't anticipated: there will be a step up in the render line on the east wall. We're not sure how to fix this yet but that can wait until we are landscaping later in the year.

Tomorrow should see the 1st fix plumbing completed and some of the floor concrete laid. We are about half way through the project!
