Phase 2 Starts....

That's a neat installation MdB. Will those connectors be accessible at all in case you need to get at them at anytime?

MdB, stop making such progress at once, you're putting the rest of us to shame.

The coils and connectors have been tested to 6 bar (or thereabouts) and have been operational for the last few days at 3 bar with no leaks shown. The plan then is to cover the connectors before the screed is put down so that they will be easy to expose if ever there is a leak. It will be in the middle of the floor so a hatch or similar won't really be a good idea and it will be easy enough to dig up if we do have a problem. The cover will also allow a bit of movement between the old and new screed without hopefully damaging the pipes.

MdB, stop making such progress at once, you're putting the rest of us to shame.

Apart from putting the pipes down, I haven't done much recently. Our builders have also disappeared giving silly excuses like "my wife has just given birth" and "it is too cold outside to put render on". These days you just don't seem able to get the staff :roll:

Worth watching in HD and fullscreen - though I would say that wouldn't I...

Funny

Not much happened before the first tea break through but once the kit kats kicked in...

In their defence, they did start on the 10m^2 around the corner that isn't visible from the camera.

Outside, the first section has had its top coat of render added.

(don't you just love the plastic windows... If somebody can lend us a fiver we will get these replaced with oak..)

Close up of the render.

Inside, the screed is down so I can finally take a picture to compare it with what we originally planned. Not too far out.

The scaffold is now down so I thought I would post another picture. The Laburnum was looking nice - it is over now though.

That looks very smart.

I really love that extension, MdB, with its wide roof overhang to protect you from the searing Cornish sun. :wink:
