You did pressure test the underfloor heating before you did that.....didn't you?

To answer anyway, 4 bar air pressure and its still 4 bar as of last night  :y

Anyway......UFH is still showing 4 bar.......  :y

Loads of progress and this despite a further trip to the wrong side of the planet on business!

Stud wall constructed to create the separate man cave and kitchen area, the kitchen half has been boarded and plastered plus the first fix plumbing added:



Once dried, the plaster had a coat of well watered down emulsion to help seal things and then last Friday, the kitchen arrived.

Queue a busy weekend of fitting units:



More units to fit yet and various bits of trim and finish to add (about 7-10 days worth in between going to work and other commitments) before they measure for the worktops (next Thursday, with fit the week after).

Plastering is an art, I built the stud and boarded it out but go some pros in to do the skim etc.

I did all brick work below DPC and got a couple of brickies in to throw the rest up (to save time!)

Everything else is my own work  :y

Impressive stuff!

SWMBO and I are about 3 months off completing our renovation ("back to brick" on our 3 storey victorian place), I took the same approach as you, I'll board out but not do the actual plastering. However I'll only do brick/block work if its being rendered or plasterboarded over - just not a skill I've ever acquired!

I don't mind brickwork, its all about corners and then the rest is easy, I am just not overly quick at it!

However, by doing the foundations it means its mega square and level which most brickies don't worry to much about.

First fit kitchen complete including the island and the various end panels.





Today they template for the worktops and the floor tiles arrive, in theory the kitchen should be all but done by the end of May
