Well a big step in the building project today when the new concrete floor was laid!! I nipped across to the Farm in my lunch break to capture the progress, which I have included in the gallery below.
It was incredible to think that the whole amount (over 10 cubic metres of concrete was required – 2 concrete lorries/mixers) and it was all wheel-barrowed in and laser-levelled using a hand tamper. This means we have a single floor level now over the entire downstairs. (Apart from the existing kitchen which already has a DPM and we will keep the radiators in rather than install UFH). It all went remarkably quickly, and saw the return of Lee Hart from Lamberts and also a few more new Lambert faces in Sean (aka Hoody) and Sam, the Lamberts Engineer who worked hard on the barrows and tamper.
There was no access for Mark and Dale to upstairs today via the normal route, so temporary access was provided through the bathroom window, which you can see Tammy climbing down from!
