Default Bungalow update

David wibbled:

Very interesting, got any piccies?


Finally:



One paint job on Owen's room: Matt emulsion makes light of my imperfect
plastering - can hardly seen anything wrong under normal lighting

Marmox board (12.5mm) bonded to the floor screed with Mapei KaraQuick:

(Patches are silicone sealant - suggestion on Marmox's website was to apply
silicone to the board edges for a more damp proof seal. This turned out to
not work well. Easier to apply silicon to gaps afterwards.)


Taped in addition, on advice from Marmox Tech Support - this, together with
the silicone garantees a vapour impermeable floor:

Treadair Boardwalk underlay (4mm) foam laid. The foil layer is also a vapour
barrier, so despite our slightly damp floor, I'm confident nothing is
getting though this lot:

Kahrs engineered click boards going down. This was easy enough:

And completed, with another wipe over with their oil refresher liquid:

Front room scabbled:

And a close up of the fairly fine finish:

New improved brickwork on left of door with new door casing wedged in for
sizing.

(Door casing has a slight bow - this will straighten up once screwed to
wall).



I'll raise a couple of questions in a new thread...

Cheers
