My weekend duties were to board out the ground floor on top of the slab and the damp proof membrane with Kingspan insulation boards. I thought this would be a relatively easy task.......i was wrong!!
It was tough to get it into position and tough to get the boards in nice and tight, the cuts had to be inch perfect and it took loads longer thank i thought it would! My naivety nearly got the better of me with this one but i persevered and we ended up with a good result. A long day on Saturday (finished with a fabulous takeaway from the cinnamon lounge on Flockton moor!) was followed by some of Sunday to finish it off.
Ground floor studwork this weekend, i am not taking this lightly!
So today, the Underfloor heating contractors (Velta UK) came to install the pipework downstairs ready for it to be screeded tomorrow. again these are all things we couldn't do yet without the tent (See counter below). Once the screed is down, the stud walls (which there are not many of downstairs), the ground floor is ready to be first fixed by the plumber and the electrician. my efforts then follow the builders up as they go above 2nd floor joist height for Me to board out that floor and work below on the studs for the second floor, if i haven't already thrown the studding towel in by then!!
We are using the metal speedline studs as they are straighter, quicker and cheaper than wood, I'm doing two 50mm walls 25mm apart to create A 150mm thick stud wall which should have very good acoustic properties with some rockwool down the middle. the fact that the walls are separate should stop sound transfer between rooms.
ill be back tomorrow with underfloor heating photos.
