Nuts! Yeah +1, my missus keeps batting on about skiing. My idea of a holiday is a beach in Greece where I can pretend I'm reading a book through dark glasses whilst watching German girls playing topless volleyball in the surf... Skiing though...there are some proper weirdos about! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construction Channel Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 I only started last year. I had always turned it down for similar reasons but once you get into it, it’s great. Plus we did a serious amount of drinking which is always fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Construction Channel Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 I still haven’t poured the floor now. Hopefully the rest of the spacers will be in today or tomorrow. So with any luck I might get it done this weekend if I’m feeling very energetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 What are you pouring ? Remind me if your screeding / liquid / concrete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I take it you'll shutter off around the shower trap and the last 300mm of pipe to it? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construction Channel Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 I’m shuttering off a 6’ square around it so I can screed the falls in after. I’ll cover the pipes with the concrete but try to leave at least 2” for the screed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a good idea to have some 300mm tie bars drilled at angles ( dovetailed ) poking through the shuttering to tie the two slabs together after the initial pour, or you'll be left with a small floating section which won't be great.

I was just going to SBR the crap out of it. But that might not be a bad idea. Iv got some mesh left over I can cut up for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Construction Channel Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Well that Was a fun job. 500 of the little buggers every 400mm. (At least there will be when I get the utility done as well. But I’m tired and need a shower now) And just in case you wondered how I was going to hold it in the little chairs where it is trying to lift in some places I’m useing these. Technically they are for holding Teram down but they seem to be working well for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construction Channel Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Pipes are now sitting at 3.6 bar. I’ll update in an hour or so to see if anything has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
