Thank you Peter, hopefully book a nice king holiday once the project is over 😂

If shoveling off a pile, ram the barrow into the edge of it, stand on the pile and fling into barrow, no working against gravity or swinging the spade. When raking hardcore, use the full edge of the rake, otherwise you just rake around the 25-40mm pieces and leave the dust in patches. You want a good mix throughout the hardcore.

Thank you! Will do!

Hi both you will be glad to be done with the concreting , and as you say any discrepancies can be fixed with the next layers . Have you got a plan to make the interior walls resistant to rising damp , or will you have them injected at some point . Kind regards as always 😀👍

We think the worst of the rising damp was through the floors and then condensing on the walls due to cold bricks and warm air. There is actually a slate DPC in the bricks and you can see where the damp stops in the lower bricks. But we might inject into the perps just above the DPC incase there is any rising damp if that makes sense

You need pipe inserts

I’ve got them, but was in a rush and forgot to put it in this end, doh! I have one in the compression end and when it comes to having it connected to the main stop tap I’ll put the insert in then 👍

Nice work mate but why did you not put your 100mm insulation on top of your visquin and then pour the concrete ?

We have underfloor heating going in so 150mm insulation ontop of the concrete then 65mm of liquid screed ontop once the pipes have been clipped in 👍
