This week it has all be about preparing the groundfloor for the installation of the underfloor heating which is scheduled for today… and even if I do say so myself we’ve done a pretty immaculate job – it really is a thing of beauty. A quick thank you to the guys from Insumate who have been open minded enough to …
Project Week 4 – update VI
So the weekend has come around again, and this is my chance to update this blog and let you know where we have got to so far. At last we begin to actually make things this week (rather than just demolishing them!) 😆 We have lifted the floor as you all know and we have found a really neat product …
