First of all back to the underfloor heating, after the first layer of concrete had dried we were able to get the electrician back in to lay the electrical underfloor cables throughout the ground floor. Each room is zoned to have its own thermostat.

Here is the cabling laid in the master bedroom.

And in the spare bedroom, notice that the cabling goes beyond the concreting. This was because we were unable to dig the floor out up to the walls in the older part of the house because there are no foundations.

The next stage is to now lay another layer of screed on top of the cables. Once this is complete we can finish of the downstairs rooms.

In the second bedroom the windows have gone in, this paves the way to finishing the outside thermal cladding meaning the outside of the house will be ready for final rendering.

The screed floor has now gone down and is drying ready for tiling.

The plasterer  has been able to get in and finish off the downstair rooms.

And the rooms have been undercoated ready for completion of the electrical work, tiling and decorating.

Moving upstairs work is coming on very nicely.

The open landing has been undercoated.

And the kitchen has started to be installed.

Our next immediate tasks include final plumbing and installing the bathrooms, upstairs toilet and utility room, laying the oak flooring throughout the upstairs, installing the wood burners, final fix electrics and decorating.
