Whoa, We're Hawfway There.....Whoa-oah, Laying Doon a Flair.

We're a wee bit more than halfway, but with the floor laid it's now starting to look like a room.

With the insulation finished (apart from one wee square where my temporary socket is) and the electrician having completed his first fix (running all the cable behind walls and under floors), the floor could be laid.

For easiness and price, we used 22mm thick tongue and groove chipboard.  The edges are glued together and the boards are then screwed into the joists to secure them in place.

These sheets are cheaper than traditional timber flooring and are quicker to fit.  The boards are also moisture resistant and are a decent replacement for traditional flooring where a carpet or other covering is going to be fitted.

and there we have it, one floor laid.
