I posted a link to the ‘paper’ used by the German kit house companies. A sort of glass fibre fleece lining paper. I’ll look out the details if of interest.

Well done looks lovely

Top job team

My arm was nearly back to normal following the Monday afternoon steroid injection which meant a full 3-man crew. The wagon reversed right up to the garage foundations and delivered the concrete mid way into the garage slab position and we managed to spread out the 5 m3 of concrete inside the allotted 20 minutes. There was a worrying point half way through the pour when the driver said he doubted the load was large enough to get to the prescribed floor tamping level. I said I had rounded up the order from my calculated 5.1 m3 to 5.5 m3 to be on the safe side. He looked concerned, went off to the cab and returned with a bit of paper saying the load was 5.0 m3, so we shuttered off the 2.5m x 1.8m store floor extension to the main garage to avert a complete disaster and then bought the concrete level up to FFL in the main section. In the end 5.0 was enough for the whole floor including the store floor with two shovels of excess. One hour after the pour started I carved a 1 in 10 gradient ramp at the door threshold. This initially looked terrible until I cut the tamping 4x2 batten down the width of the door (2.7m) and then tamped down the ramp surface in the semi set slab. Looking good today.

Well done, looks lovely and you have managed to avoid it looking to clinical which is often the way with such "accessible" bathrooms etc.

The Thermotouch dual units are excellent. Dont bother with the WiFi version though, its needs the App which quite frankly is toilet paper. Thanks to @Nickfromwales I've had to tie bloody knots all all my thongs where he stretched the strings. Flipping neanderthal probably flossed with them too ?
