The on-going saga of the kitchen floor part 3


We have been rather cramped over the past week with bits and pieces of furniture from the study and kitchen having pride of place in our lounge.  The picture above also shows the tiles in their boxes getting acclimatised.  Actually, we have had stuff all around the house since last October waiting for some resolution in the flooring issue. 

 Hopefully, we shall have everything back in their right places very soon now as the new tile fitters have been working all day.  There were 3 in all.  Two came on Monday and succeeded in screeding the awful mess of the floors. 

 The screeded floors looked sleek and smooth - a far more professional finish than the last ones!  The picture below shows part of the study.


Here is a close up of the floor with lots of little bubbles on the top - resembling the surface of the moon perhaps!  They didn't seem at all worried by this. 


After working non-stop all day and with several hair-dryers blasting away, they have almost finished the job, and, from what I have already seen it looks lovely.  I shall put up some more pictures when it is completed and when we are not shivering with the cold - all windows have been open all day and also the back door!

I am sorry about all the problems with the floor...hopefully they are all solved now and when they cover that pipe you can get on with enjoying it!
