Although there are no stairs, the upstairs floor has been installed and it is possible to have a wander around this space. It is amazing how different the building now feels with the floor put back in. The upstairs for some reason feels a whole lot bigger. It is certainly starting to look more like a house you could live in.

The flooring looks great, remind me again what type you have gone for?
Thanks, Aaron.
It is chipboard. 22mm moisture resistant tongue and groove. It has been glued down to the joists – this stops the floor from squeaking as this is caused by nailing down the floor. Moisture resistant boards are fine for use in floors in bathrooms etc. So although slightly more expensive, it is a better overall solution.
Since the floor has been glued down, we have had to cut all the notches for the underfloor heating pipes upstairs. I just hope we have cut them in the right places!
By the way, there are some lines where the boards join. This is where the glue has oozed up between the joists and has yet to be trimmed off. The glue sets solid in around ten minutes.
Hahaha, I thought it was your tiling! I felt even more stupid when I realised you hadn’t even had your walls plastered yet.
So what are your plans for the flooring in the house?
Thanks, Aaron.
The approach we have taken to flooring is quite straightforward:
* All office/study spaces have timber floors
* All bedrooms are carpetted with the exception of the one downstairs bedroom
* The hall, kitchen and lounge (utility room and boot room) are stone/tile
* All bathrooms are stone/tile
* The landing upstairs is timber
I had to give up on the idea of polish concrete as it was very difficult to find a local supplier/installer. Getting someone from out of the region just made it far to expensive.
