Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! How I hate the tanking.
It's not so much hating doing the work, more hating spending time (and heaps of money) on something that I'm not convinced will work. I mean, how can sticky tape (it is pretty sticky I must admit) stop water seeping into the screed when it's laid?
Here is evidence of one thing that may stop it - under the floor membrane is a drainage system that will collect any condensates and drain them to outside. This vertical piece is a rodding point in case of crud build up and a blockage.
OK... it will work, It had better work!
Not much has happened outside recently - nearly all windows and door are in and next week Nigel (Mr groundworks) is coming to do the final levelling of the heaps of topsoil and stone spoil hanging around the place. Then we can seed the future lawns and get things a bit tidier outside.
A fair bit has happened in the lounge since I took this photo but it does show the door in the process being blocked up - this opening will become a half sized window cos we need all the light we can get into the lounge as it's in the middle of the house.
