SCREEDING...
Yes we know this is a bit late and was taken in April but we thought you should still see it!
This is a peculiar job...
I bet you're wondering what the heck a screed is? It is the final smooth material that is put over the structural floor before the floor finish (carpet/lino etc.) is laid. You have to wade around in a big sloppy puddle with a special kind of rake with no prongs that you 'tamp' the screed with to get all the air bubbles out. This picture shows the floor being done in the hall and of course our screed is on top of the underfloor heating pipes if you remember.
