Now the overbench cupboards are up in the kitchen it's looking more like a kitchen. They've put these bulkheads above the cabinets though which:
- don't line up very well with the cabinets, so they'll have to fix that up, and
- DON'T give the impression that the cupboards go all the way to the ceiling (like the sales consultant said they would -- she even saw our cupboards and said, yes, it will be just like this). Ho hum.
And now, the underfloor heating story continues. So now I've talked about in-slab heating and in-screed heating, but there is a third kind of heating cable I needed to install. This is because the vanity and toilet parts of the three-way bathroom were not set down, so can't be screeded (or they would be too high). So in this area we need a much thinner cable at closer spacing which the tiles are laid directly over the top of. Here you can see I've started laying out the cable. The floor needs to be very clean so the tape will stick. We use spray adhesive on the floor to help the tape stick too.
Once all the cable is laid and taped in place we put a fibreglass mesh over the top and glue it down to protect the cable (and stop it moving) during tiling. Here you can see it ready to be glued down, before I stuffed the electrical connections into a hole in the wall of the bathroom next door.
