Final preparations for the pouring of the concrete floor slabs tomorrow. All of the insulation boards were laid then covered with another layer of damp-proof membrane. One result of that is that it’s not obvious that the Garage floor (at the far left of the overview photo) is a 150mm uninsulated concrete slab, whereas the other rooms are 100mm of concrete over 110mm of insulation.
Another inspection from Building Control, to check on the insulation before the floor slab gets poured.
The foundation trenches are now almost all complete, with just a small section left to dig at the North-West corner (out of shot at the bottom left of the photo). The Building Control inspector made a visit to check on progress and was happy with the trenches – as expected, because the ground conditions are good with no need for any shoring up of the trenches or extra-deep foundations.
The mini-crusher is now visible in the overview photo because it was in the way of the digging to the left and got relocated. There’s only a small amount of concrete left to be crushed.
