First floor screeded

This is the north end of the first floor receiving 60mm of screed on top of the underfloor heating pipes. The screed, which extends into the first floor annex too, has taken five men working hard all day - two applying the screed and three feeding them with screed via heavy buckets brought up a ladder.








Looking the other way, here are heating pipes awaiting covering. The plywood board covers the lift shaft.












At the end of the day this is the view northwards from the lift shaft. The camera is resting on the screed and shows the perfect level achieved by Richard and Carl. They were helped by a spinning laser beam but that cannot detract from their painstaking application of the screed, using spirit levels and double checking with the laser beam at frequent intervals.






This general view of the project shows the two now completed floors through the massive hole in the south wall. The completed annex is just seen to the right. All the first fixes are now complete, leaving completion of the drains and services and plastering of the walls the main building jobs still to do.

It is astounding what has been achieved in just two months and four days.
