Roll on Friday.......
@00slk Are you having a floating floor? Asking for a friend......
I had a Mezzanine floor in the garage in NZ, great place to store car parts, well a complete body in bits to be precise
That's high up!!
I think there's something lost in translation here, a Floating Floor construction is not the same as a mezzanine floor!You read my mind, although this will be in the future............And when finances allow
I think they were talking about the floating floor needed when working on the 230I think there's something lost in translation here, a Floating Floor construction is not the same as a mezzanine floor!
A Guide to Constructing a Floating Floor
A floating floor is a construction where chipboard, gypsum or cement fibre board floor panels are 'floated' across the top of the rigid insulation layer. Read more to find out what insulation thickness is required and how to insulate and install a floating floor.www.kingspan.com

Yesterday I spent most of the day drilling holes through the steel beams to bolt the wood too, and moving the steel beams across the drive. Now very achy and taking things quietly today flushing my radiator on the E Class
I remember oxidising and drilling over 100ft of steel for the cut roof on my own house, cursing whole way through it why did I have to make the house so longCertainly are Jim, and in more ways than one

I bought a whole pile of 5mm and 10mm drills from Screwfix expecting them to break or blunt easily. Only use 3 drill bits including the busted one I must have been doing something right
should be a local landmark for years to come. Don't forget the flag pole, cupola, viewing platform and lightning conductor. Loving your work Sir. Have you considered crenellations ?
Home stretch.... looking very good!!!. Looks like good 2nd storey space too!Finally the steel beams have been lifted into position ready for the chippy to put up the rafters and purlins.
Luckily the wind wasn't too bad yesterday, it could have got scary.
However today I've had to tie the main beam down as it was rocking alittle in the nasty gusts. Now that was scary. We had to lie the 2 other beams over on an angle as the wind knocked the front one over.
Looking forward to next week as the chippy is booked
