Floor Screed Delivery Schedule

I was able to contact A & D (floor screed company) and requested for an earlier-than-planned delivery of our floor screed. Since everything is ready, we would love to have it the earliest possible. Unfortunately, A & D is already fully booked. That means...two weeks of waiting, sigh*.

In the meantime, hubby is testing and running the underfloor heating to make sure that everything is all right.

Underfloor Heating Pipe - Final Installation (Fußbodenheizung Finale)

Hubby was with his work very busy. He was always out-of-town thus he was not able to continue working in our building site.

It is again weekend and we are hoping that this will be the last installation of the underfloor heating pipes.

Hubby continue installing the pipes at the basement. In the afternoon, his helper arrived and started to fix the end of the pipes to the underfloor heating manifold. He also started to work on the bath towel radiators. They were able to run water on the pipes and reached 35 degress celsius at the ground floor. They would like to continue the test on Monday.

ProHaus Building Consultant Visits (ProHaus Ausbauberater Besucht)

It was a surprise that we received a call from our ProHaus Building Consultant today. He said that he is on the area and he would like (if it is possible) to see how we are doing with our house building. Ofcourse I went directly to the house and he checked how the underfloor heating pipes were installed. There are some things that needed to follow in order to avoid issues later. For example, there should be no underfloor heating pipes under the first step of the staircase and so on and so forth. Good thing that everything is all right. He also took some pictures and measures the needed distances.

Below is the picture that I took after the meeting. As you can see, we still have the building site stairway. After the floor screed, ProHaus will visit us again for the measurements of our wooden stairway. The delivery will follow after eight weeks.

Bath Towel Radiators Installation (Badetuch Heizkörper Montage)

Before the weekend arrives, hubby installed the bath towel radiators on the bathroom wall. In this way, our heating and plumbing helper can install it directly on the underfloor heating manifold, on weekends. That's the plan.

Underfloor Heating Pipe - Installation 3 (Fußbodenheizung Installation 3)

Continuing installing the underfloor heating pipe even on Sundays. This time, hubby started the basement area. And since the weather was good --- it was sunny, the kids were at the garden with Grandparents. I was then able to assist hubby to place it. After finishing two rooms, we put some roof tiles on the parts that are going-up.

Underfloor Heating Pipe - Installation 2 (Fußbodenheizung Installation 2)

Hubby continued installing the underfloor heating pipes during the week. He started at the ground floor. And during the weekend, his helper from the Plumbing Company arrived and helped him continue the job.

Underfloor Heating Plate - Part 3 ((Fußbodenheizung mit Noppenplate - Teil 3)

I was able to finally finished placing the underfloor heating plates at the basement. All the rooms, even the utility room is with underfloor heating plate. After that, I cleaned-up and cut the remaining plates into pieces so it is easier to get rid of it.

Underfloor Heating Pipes - Installation 1 (Fußbodenheizung Installation 1)

Hubby and his helper from a Plumbing Company, started to install the underfloor heating pipes at the second floor. They worked almost the whole Saturday and finished three rooms.

Underfloor Heating Plate - Part 2 (Fußbodenheizung mit Noppenplate - Teil 2)

Ground floor and second floor is officially finished with underfloor heating plate installation. Hubby was working on it for the last days and I continued some parts of it this morning. It is now time to place the underflooring heating plate at the basement area. I started it this morning and was only able to finish one room out of five. We ran-out of plates. Since we need to empty the house before the troop of A & D arrive to install the insulation boards, we moved some plates to my in-laws' house.

For the past few days I fixed the Damp Proof Membrane. There are some area that we are not satisfied thus, we decided to undo it. Building a house is only once in a lifetime, so better make it as proper as possible. I only need to finish the basement area and then it is done.
