still cracking on with the house, last weekend and this weekend it's now moved onto the kitchen area.

Concrete floor prep'd with a wash of PVA then 10mm tile backer boards fitted.

joints filled and scrim taped.

then I laid the blinkin U/F cable Thursday night in the utility

then the kitchen

... i called it a day at 11pm when my head stated to hurt!!

(note to one's self..... next time don't listen to father in law, buy the cable already on the mat... sod the £120 saving the cable kit is over the mat kit, as time is money anyway!)

today/Saturday the 400x400 porcelain tiles get put down

back again tomorrow to do more and start on the cuts!!

they act as an insulation with the u/f heating, they stop the heat going into the concrete floor.... wasting money!!
it also acts as a waterproof layer too.

well worth it as its made a nice surface to work on

I have no idea yet how much they will cost to rn the u/f heating, but its only really to warm the floor tiles to stop them being cold when you walk on them.
