Ground Floor Works - Small Update

I neglected to take any recent pictures of the completed ground floor limecrete slabs, but three weeks on and it's drying well. It takes a long time to dry out, especially at this time of year, with damp areas still concentrated around wall areas. However the floor has been solid for approx two weeks now and can be treaded across with no problems.

Some areas are covered in board to protect the surface.




Some better pictures coming soon.




The rear of the house has been scaffolded for the second time, in preparation of the lining of the flues. Six inch stainless steel flexi-liners will be dropped down two flues, one to the ground floor front room fireplace and the other to the first floor front room fireplace.

    Hi Stephan, what a project, seriously impressive. A quick question, did you use a perimeter board such as cork, or some advise 'breathable' foam between stone walls and limecrete floor? I'm getting quite confused about this one, it is advised by some and not others. I think its main purpose is insulation between the floor and wall to stop the wall taking away the heat? But my thinking is surely if you get to point where you have your walls at a good temperature and all moisture is out of them this shouldn't matter? thanks Sophie
