Well it&#8217;s 2013 and the blog has suffered because we&#8217;ve been hunkered down for the cold weather in our temporary accommodation. The building work was meant to be finished by the end of November but has been delayed by the anhydrite screed not drying out fast enough. It was meant to take 60 days but has still been measuring around 12% moisture in places. It needs to be around 0.5% for tiling. However, after spending the Christmas break grinding off the top surface of the screed with a grinder it has started to dry quite quickly and we are hoping that the builders can start tiling the floors on their return after the New Year break.<\/p>\n<p>The photos below are now out of date but show some of the progress since the last posting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1238\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1238\" style=\"width: 367px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1238\" title=\"The water services are installed, sleeved in conduit and you can see the start of the bathroom stud wall.\" alt=\"Water Services\" src=\"http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/water.jpg\" width=\"367\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/water.jpg 367w, http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/water-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 85vw, 367px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The water services are installed, sleeved in conduit and you can see the start of the bathroom stud wall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1239\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1239\" style=\"width: 367px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1239\" title=\"The Underfloor Heating Pipes Come together at the Manifold Position\" alt=\"UFH1\" src=\"http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/UFH1.jpg\" width=\"367\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/UFH1.jpg 367w, http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/UFH1-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 85vw, 367px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1239\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Underfloor Heating Pipes Come together at the Manifold Position<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1241\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1241\" style=\"width: 367px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1241\" title=\"The Underfloor Heating Pipes are Laid in 10 Zones on Celotex Insulation;
