Progress, 2 years later.

In response to @Russell griffiths post about blogs, here goes. It is still 2018.

I finished the Tata Colorcoat Urban roof, tricky around the Velux windows and fitting the ridge trying not to get sealant everywhere. No leaks 2 years later. Kwikstage very useful, heavy but a worthy purchase on a long self build.

I made up  one of the roof trusses for the garage and thats where it sat for another year.

Back inside and started to put down 150 Celotex on the ground floor, taped and polyethened ready for the screeders.

All UFH supplied by Wunda, about 1200m of 16mm pipe on the ground floor for 14 ports from 2 manifolds. All cliptrack and staples. Take care not to kink the pipe and take photos and measurements if you might be fixing anything to the floor.

The electrician arrived and made great progress and then the screeders in early December 2018, 200sqm of 45mm anhydrite down in 2-3 hours.

Once the electrician had finished first fix I started battening the OSB ready for the plasterboard, I notched out around the wiring.  I fitted some resilient bars to  all the ground floor ceilings, little cost apart from fitting time.

It's now 2019.

What was the reason for battening the service void horizontally?

 

What are the half dozen or so things that look like sprocket pullers on the floor being liquid screeded for?

I made the timber frame using 3 layers, 140mm vertical, 70mm horizontal and then 50mm vertical  at 600 centres which the OSB is fixed. I fitted the batten every 400mm which I thought would help firm up the plasterboard.

The screeders use tripods with an adjustable level to help measure the required depth of the material.
