This week has seen lots of changes at the hall. Inside the pipework for the underfloor heating has all been laid on top of the insulation, and the screed, which is placed on top, is almost completed. It takes a few days for the screed to go off (harden) and then it is safe to walk on it. The electrician has been busy in the kitchen with the first fix, putting in the trunking and socket boxes. The carpenters will be working this weekend preparing the door and window openings, ready for the frames.
Outside there has been plenty of activity on the roof. The tiles have been hoisted into place on the roof and will be laid shortly as will the solar panels.
The photos show the different stages of laying the underfloor heating system.
The pipework is uncoiled from the drum, and is filled with water heated and pumped around from the 4 ground source heat pumps. The pipes are secured with a special nail gun.
The pipes extend throughout the building, the kitchen is shown here, before and after the screed has been laid.
The screed is a dry mix and is hand barrowed in, ready for the floorer to level off the material. High tech laser equipment is used to achieve perfect levels.
