There is a maze of underfloor heating pipes waiting for screeding downstairs. The board in the doorway is there to create an acoustic barrier so that sound isn't transmitted across the floor. It also reduces the risk of the screed cracking. The screeders upstairs insisted that they didn't need the boards and that they would cut a line into the concrete between the rooms, but that didn't happen.
In addition, they pumped the screed through a large pipe that was like a wild dancing python, in the process it damaged the insulation at the bottom of the stairs and over the hall. My daughter and I spent ages sweeping up the dry screed particles and covering the area with tape. Hooray for duct tape! It was hot, smelly work as the heat from the screed is staying in the well insulated house!
Here is the screed upstairs. The thickness variation is just on the borderline of british standard sr3. I'm still not happy with it, I'm sure it's not up to the standards of most other screeders! While I find a new screeder, the project is being held up. Mind you, it gives the screed upstairs a chance to cure undisturbed.
The house is shrouded by the large mound of sharp sand that is now redundant. The skip is full again and there is a large collection of cardboard and other reduntant materials. Another skip is full. More rubbish than when we demolished our house!
