You're welcome!

Did you capture your fall shot yesterday?

Nope.
I think I will have to postpone to next year.

Have you missed it already?

DAFlys Posted at 10-25 00:51

No, but I don't see a spare moment with good weather coming up before it is gone.
I'm making a bathroom / toilet upstairs and renovating the toilet downstairs.
So that gets priority.
Maybe if there is some time and good weather, but I doubt this will happen as I want to use the good weather for applying a basecoat on all the wood I'm going to use and that is most easy outdoors with enough space.

Oh yes,  bathrooms take the priority.

They do.
Making way for a bigger home improvement.
We are planning to renovate the living room. But we can't get to our kitchen or bathroom other than via the living room.
So we want a toilet and sink upstairs so we don't have to walk outside to get to the bathroom downstairs.
And we will be blocked from using the livingroom for quite some time as we are planning to take the complete floor out and use 'foam concrete' for insulation.

We have that here but I dont know anyone thats ever used it,   Im sure in time that will change.

I have seen it being used with my sisters house (not the build I'm documenting, that is my other sister)
It is pretty good insulation (at least that is what they claim) and better than what they usually use (we call that 'bread' but it is just concrete part with Styrofoam at the bottom.
This type of concrete has a lot of air bubbels trapped inside and it is still relatively strong.
Not for a foundation, but more than enough to host a floor.

Bread is whats common here too,   although we dont call it that.    Is the foam concrete much more expensive then bread?

It's about the same. At least it was 3 years ago. I have not looked into the details since then.
The main bonus is that you can just pour it in (after some preparation of course, but you need to do that anyway) and don't worry about the house not being square etc.
Plus it eliminates the risk of any leaks, since it is applied in a liquid state.
The big downside is that you don't have a space under your floor anymore, so you need to plan ahead of everything you 'might want' to do in the future.
Now we don't have a lot of stuff going on in that space, but there are some water connections, gas and electricity of course (no sewer here fortunately). And I will add some empty tubes to various parts, so I can add stuff later.
We have an 'old part' and 'new part', almost the same size.
The new part is already insulated and has a good sized space under the floor, so I will connect that to our small cellar (which is in the old part), where the fuse box is located too and the gas+water.connections are.
If that makes sense without a drawing.

Autumn is flourishing everywhere
In the Northern hemisphere at any rate.

Some of it got blown away here by the gales.

Yes,  I think I understand.  The pipes are a good idea.

Yes there are carpets of leaves around now.

Same here,   its been good to photograph.

I expect you've been busy then?

Yes.  Shots like this.  

DAFlys Posted at 10-25 03:36

I would think so.
Just a couple of 70mm outdoor PVC pipes that can withstand some pressure (fracture free or something is what they are called)

Nice winding ways.

WOW!   That is so neat to see!  Here in the Southern U.S. the leaves go from green to brown.  so we never get to see anything like this.

70mm is a good size,   I did something similar under a tiled floor and went too small and regretted it trying to get all the cables into it.

Cheers Frank.

Even triple?

Exactly my idea. Especially since I don't know if we ever need to add more later.

This is what it looks like.
Not exactly the right scale, this was part of the documentation of the house, but not based on measurements.
Total length is about 12 meters (without the extentions)



The orange L shaped room is the one that will be getting a new floor. The area behind that (mostly blue) is the new part with insulated floor and crawling space underneath.
That grey 'Berging' is where I'm working and making music.
