Better weather so better progress

The weather the week before last put a stop to any work being done that week. We got a good bit done this week though. Have been up the walls at work and haven't had the time to update this either in work or after!! The floors were packed this week. I have posted some pictures of this which I took today. There was 6 truck loads of '2 inch down' for this and then the sand for the top. My Dad was levelling the sand yesterday and day before as the groundworks guy was spreading the stuff with his JCB. I went to site this morning and thankfully everything was still in place after the winds last night. The garage base was dug out this week too. The radon barrier is being put down on Tuesday morning. The cost of this is €690. This is from a local guy from Grenagh, Blarney who was recommended by the blocklayers. Next then will be a layer of concrete, insulation and the underfloor heating pipes ............and then more concrete. Then the blocklayers can work away up to window level. On that note a rep from Munster Joinery called into the site a few weeks back to my Dad and gave a quote from the plans of €9k-thats for 19 windows and the front door. The whole kitchen area is all glass from floor to ceiling so I think that's a good quote but I will also get a quote from Classic windows. They are meant to be very dear though. Either way I will pay a visit to both places to check out their windows on display myself. I'm really looking at black PVC but may change my opinion on that. I don't know where I'm going to get the time-not enough hours in the day! I rang SOS heating too and told him we would most likely be ready for him in 2 weeks (weather permitting) and thankfully he was okay with this and said it suited him also. So overall things are moving along nicely and quicker than I expected. The only delays I've had are as a result of the weather (BOO!) ..........and not contractors who are proving very timely indeed! I must also get a detailed excel sheet of my costs to date up on this site when I have the chance.
