Another work weekend finished and things continue to progress well. This weekend was cold with a sprinkling of snow on the ground when we arrived on Saturday morning which made things look very atmospheric.

The garage exterior is now all but finished with only the top coat of harling to go onto the gable end closest to the house. The garage doors are in and the colour matches very well with the larch cladding.

The whole work weekend was spent laying DPM and cliptrack on the first floor in preparation of screeding the upper floor. I had a full work crew with me with my parents and Heidi's dad helping out so many thanks to them for all their efforts. It all takes a lot longer than on expects doing all this fiddly work. We managed to break the back of the job and only have a small section of DPM & cliptrack to go on the first floor before we can get the pipe down. Current plan is to get this done in February and screeded then as well.

In the meantime we will be waiting for the last of the ground works to be completed. Don't think this will happen until January and then we have to hope the weather co operates with us. Need to get this done so we can get water onto site for filling the UFH loops.
Tor - looking phenomenal!! We are moved in, have been for a month, however had a stone delay, so the roughcasting on the other 3 walls was delayed, now all stone, corner stone etc up on all 4 walls but not rough casted. However due to the delay they completed inside so inside looks great, outside got scaffolding all round, the UFH is awesome, and the chimney copes went on last weekend so got stove and open fire on, using less oil now (hopefully). it takes nothing to heat it, and that was not the porsche of SIP panel insulation you went for!!
ReplyDeleteLove to see your pad, are you only in Scotland at weekends?
Have a good xmas anyway, been a busy year for us both, calmed down now for me anyway, I found alot of the annoying things were picking the interiors, maybe you at that stage now, hope Heidi and family are well
