With a plastering deadline that I CAN'T MISS fast approaching, I’m taking on the biggest challenge of this project yet: tackling the excavation and brickwork solo to prep for the concrete pour, and once that's done, the clock starts ticking before my plasterer arrives - and he's only got 3 days to help me so there's no extension. It's a touch challenge, even assuming I don't make any catastrophic mistakes along the way...
From DIY brick laying, insulating the sub floor, and laying underfloor heating pipes, cemfloor concrete pour, to completely rebuilding a door way after taking out a structural beam and plasterboarding the wall ready for Gerard my plasterer, there was SO MUCH TO DO!
If you're retrofitting underfloor heating, renovating on a tight budget, or just want to see if one person can actually pull this off—this episode is for you!
