Installation of epc.

We've got professionals in today. 2 guys expect to do 300m2 of dpm and eps today, then tomorrow pir 2nd layer and dpm. Day 3 pipes.

They started cutting the eps with a hand saw. I guess this suffices for a smaller house. But one has popped out and come back with one of these and a 150mm blade. Watching him use it he can do curves and angles that a hand saw can't, plus very much quicker.

I was surprised he didn't have one already.

There is no sign of a table saw, or circular saw, for long straight cuts. That's what I had expected.

The cutting dust is hand- brushed into the gaps.

More to follow.

Here's an update. The insulation was laid in 2 layers over 3 days, with pipes going in behind. 

Screed poured today, day 4, 

 

 

in 2 hours plus the same again in prep, waiting and washing up.

The 4 days wasn't enough for the 350m2, and there was Russian swearing, we think, from the first gang under pressure. They suddenly didn't understand English when questioned about quality issues.

For anyone who hasn't seen it here's a video. It is very runny indeed, and it only goes hard if you wish and believe enough.

They often set up tripods to set the levels.  Is this 2 guys working and 1 shouting at them?
