Funny thing I realised today- I was upstairs in the bedroom and overheard Mick n Tony shouting out measurements on the roof: I work in centimetres, Mick in milimetres, Tony in inches, whilst Dad prefers metres- it's a fudging miracle we got this far!! This week Dad and I are concentrating on the downstairs floor, as screed will be poured on fri am, so we need to have it cleared, radon Barrier down, insulation in, skirt attached( technical name by-passed me- maybe coz I wasn't listening....), egg boxes laid down ( not actual egg boxes, rather a plastic sheet with grooves for underfloor heating pipes- but that's dad's term for them) pipes laid down, plumbed into manifold, filled with water and pressure tested. No idea how long it'll all take as we're novices-here goes trying!
