Screeds and screams 1

In the last blog entry I was putting down insulation and the UFH pipework in the smaller of the 2 main downstairs rooms.  

In the end I decided we would do the smaller (3.5m x 7.5m) sitting room ourselves.   So with myself and daughter levelling, wife and friend mixing and super fit farmer friend on the wheelbarrow we mixed the requisite 4 tons of screed and ton of cement and laid it in a day.  Fish and chip lunch provided of course to helpers! 

All in all we didn't to too bad a job.  Not as smooth as the pros but more than sufficiently so, and I may just run a very thin layer of self levelling over, more to fill in little voids than anything.
