Few pictures from last week, ploughing a headland before it rained Friday night
Rabbit fence repair hopefully that should stop them
Had to drain fuel tank on MF 3080 after it cut out
Then had starter motor issues with the JCB loadall, dead to the world. No amout of bashing it will bring it back to life

How many zones? What flooring will you lay? Be very careful about differential expansion at the change between zones. We are on hard tiles throughout and have cracking between most zones. We still love the underfloor though.View attachment 644454
Had a good day on the underfloor heating

a lot more fiddly than the standard as you have to plan pipe runs very carefully, especially into cupboards and around door frames

Still, managed to get Lounge, 3 bedrooms, the Hall and Bathroom done
Oh, and try to include somewhere to dry wet gear/washing (either a single radiator or a small drying room as it's a bit awkward to dry stuff by laying it on the warm floor
).

You’ve gone to a hell of a lot of effort just to put it on the fire.

I have five zones in mine and it is the best thing I have done. floor covered in Karndean (?) and no problems with expansion.Oh, and try to include somewhere to dry wet gear/washing (either a single radiator or a small drying room as it's a bit awkward to dry stuff by laying it on the warm floor
edit. not sure what went wrong with quote there, was referring to the cracked tiles in the underfloor heating.

I was told to pressurise the pipes with compressed air before the final screed to get the joints to bed in.View attachment 644454

Not sure if this is useful or not.

Joints? There should be no joints in the pipework, just asking for trouble! Use a single length of pipe for each zone, only joints should be at the manifold, not under the screed.

Yes, joints at manifold and expanding the pipe slightly so less likely to crack screed / floor tiles in future.

Ours were filled with water and pumped up to between 2 and 3 bar IIRC so that if we did any damadge while screeding we would know about it. No joints whatsovere in the floor though, all in the manifold. Can’t find photo of manifold area before screed but here’s some pipes!!! Uponor throughout.

We’ve got flexible joints across the doorways of each zone, and that joint transfers right through the screed, but not the slab. To my knowledge the pipework should be pressurised with water, using a bucket pump, and the pressure maintained while the floor screed is laid.
Andy will know all of this I’m sure.
