Day 222-3. Underfloor heating!

Nothing monday; except we discover we've cut off the water supply to next doors downstairs loo. Oops. According to Pete tPP, this is because the original plumbing is somewhat eccentric: rather than indep supplies to the two houses, there is one mains take off (in our garden) which then feeds both houses. Quite how the old supply got to the back loos is unclear, but clearly its not feed cleanly from their side. Anyway, Pete has bodged a fix for now and S Cambs have been informed.

But *today* we have the long-awaited underfloor heating and flooring in the new kitchen. The pic shows this. The pipes are down, and are cut into the polystyrene insulation. The cold water pipe also runs under the floor, but at the edge, under where the units will be and away from the heat :-). The large cardboard box contains the cooker hood. Maybe that could go on the wall now? Some of the flooring is properly down - near the garden wall - and some just loose at the moment. Looks like it can be finished tomorrow. Then we can talk about putting the units in, hurrah!

On another note, TP points out the amusing http://www.blogthebuilder.co.nz/, about someone in NZ who wasn't happy with their builder. But sadly there are no details there yet.

The second pic is jus taken to show how nice and light the new kitchen can be, in the afternoon when the sun has come round.
