After thermal insulation was in place, water pipes and electrical cables were installed, then steel grid was placed on top, to reinforce future concrete floors. On top of the steel grid floor heating pipes were installed. With all that in place everything is ready for 80mm thick concrete layer. It’s been a bit of a challenge to arrange all that – all parts of the work were done by different subcontractors specializing in their own areas, so a lot of synchronization was needed.

Weather is excellent – +3 during the night, +6 during the day. No rains predicted. It is really bad for Christmas, but really good for construction. To make sure that concrete starts to dry up I’ve ordered a couple of heaters for the first two days after concrete is poured on the floor, to maintain a bit higher temperature inside the house. General rule is that it dries up at 1mm/day rate – so 80mm should dry up in about 3 months.
