The main progress today was the preparation of the concrete floor in the Utility Room and Shower Room, ready for their commercial-grade vinyl flooring which will get a mop-friendly ‘coved’ skirting as might be seen in a healthcare setting. The concrete floor was mechanically scrubbed to remove any mineral deposits, then primed, then covered with a self-levelling screed to ensure that the wet-room shower drains properly.

The garage door installation team made a brief visit to re-attach one of the spring tension cables that had come loose from one of the doors.

I was half expecting the block paving team to be back to finish things up but it seems they had another job booked starting today. The actual block paving is down but there are some gaps between the blocks that need filling with grit (rather than sand, with it being permeable paving) – and then the boundary ring of Marshalls GrassGuard blocks need installing to help keep the main body of the blocks in place (the GrassGuard is twice as deep) and to provide a bit of extra turning space.
