Everyone told me this concrete floor would crack... but I did it anyway.
In this video, I’m pouring 20 m² of floor heating over TWO completely different structures. One side is solid concrete over a basement – the other side is a 40 cm deep hole I dug myself.
Can one single slab survive being poured over a moving foundation? Or do I have a secret trick up my sleeve to save the floor? Stick around to see the technical solution and the final bill!
[DANSK VERSION]
Alle sagde, at det her betongulv ville flække... men jeg gjorde det alligevel.
Jeg støber 20 m² gulvvarme over TO forskellige underlag. Den ene halvdel er beton over en kælder – den anden halvdel har jeg gravet 40 cm ned i jorden.
Kan ét samlet gulv holde til at ligge på to så forskellige fundamenter uden at revne? Eller har jeg et teknisk trick, der redder det hele? Se med til slutningen for at se løsningen... og den endelige regning!
