Hello KZfaq! If you guys enjoyed this, please do check out my other videos of the farmhouse restoration - at the moment we're working on gutting and replacing an old rotten oak roof, far more exciting than concrete and insulation in my humble opinion... Also, please do subscribe to the channel, I'm posting twice a month at the moment but would love to ramp that up if people enjoy!

Whenever there's fresh concrete, there's a cat.

This is how a video should be done...great presentation without any bullsh*t

With Ryan's kzfaq.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!

Just found your channel and am really enjoying your work.

Found your channel by accident. Love it. Currently working my way through start to finish. Very enjoyable. Very nicely done. Keep posting!

Videos like this makes construction GREAT AGAIN

It was nice to see the cat doing its job as supervisor and inspecting the flooring to see it was up to code.

That intro shot! Very nice, love it!

Just subscribed, time to binge watch your channel.love the craftsmanship

I SO L O V E,. that property.!! I'm drawn to old stone houses in France; almost obsessed.. LOL.. must be in my DNA. My 8th Great grandfarther, Francois Belanger came from the Normandy area.' he came over to Quebec Canada (New France) in 1635.. I guess it's good he did, or I wouldn't be here.. haha.. You are amazing.. love your work.. thanks for sharing it..!

The cat supervising is the best of the video.

Haha brilliant love it - I wish I could work this fast :D

this place looks like an old castle!

Superb vireo, deserves wider audience!!

Bloody heck that's so well insulated I bet it's hard to breath

Great video and great work! Awesome channel :D

Wow this guys work so fast!!! Better than the cowboys I hired.

cat doing nice work...........greetings from croatia

Ciekawy jestem po ten beton mieszacie jeszcze raz... I szacun za tą wylewkę bo bez rurek koleś ładnie to wyciągnął

Like the safety sliders!

Been screeding over 30 years now, never laid a screed on bare insulation boards ever, polythene is cheap and will save you 20% UV value, as the cement destroys the reflective foil .Other than that , perfect video,thumbs up.

outstanding advice to building a garage

Good work, sir

NO, BUT SERIOUSLY, LOVE YOUR WORK. NICE KNEE PADS!

Excellent work, well done. New subscriber here.

thanks for uploading/posting that type of video, but till us about the wall repairing of your farmhouse

Nice job respect from morocco

Have you a video of the prep work of the floor? Going to tackle a French barn!

Love cat

Ahhh so that's the trick to using music without getting a copyright claim: speeding it up 800% Thanks for the tip ;)

Cool video and process. New to me!

Great video Carl. Few questions about your screed... your tiling video says '3 weeks' after screeding. Thought that seemed a bit soon, but what sort of temperature was the screed cured in? Also what was the mix? 4:1? Any additives in the water?

That cat 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Perfect, thanx. How much that screed weighs per m2 ?

What mix are you using for screed 4:1, and what type of sand? Is any brand cement fine or are you using a particular type? Thanks for Vid

very nice, but here we usually put forged in the concrete to prevent it from cracking. Has not been sunk or broken with the passage of a year? great work equally

Look at that cement mixer go !

Your channel is very interesting

Good video,thanks

Un trabajó limpio y ordenado , felicitaciones , pero le faltó la Maya acma

Super film.

Great sound effects

Pai kore, mate. Dad's a dab hand with that float.

Hi Carl you may have just solved a problem my old kicthen is 5 inchs lower and tiled onto hard core . Can I use this solution to raise the floor and tile then put my kitchen floor units on top ? what sort of strength have these boards ? i was looking for wedi boards and this cameup - is the concept the same? thanks

Как приятно смотреть , когда кто-то работает😍

Almost 2 years, doubters comments lament the cracking of the floor within a year....please tell me its absolutely sound as a pound! 😇👍

quick question - how would you run central heating pipes to radiators now the floor is concrete and walls solid brick? I noticed you had cut out sections in the insulation boards for electric cables - could you have done the same for running pipework (might be silly question)

Did you put two layers. What is the TMS slaps you are putting on top?

what about rising humidity, does it affect the insulation boards?

Nice, what's under the insulation? Any moisture barriers? And are those cables lost forever?

Lo bueno es que hay un gato de interventor de obra para que el trabajo no quede mal hecho

Hello! What did you lay down as a dpc or something to stop the moisture barrier? I assume this is a true old building and it's solid walls would not have a barrier at the base layer. It would be great to explain the initial methods to the process. Have you done something to stop moisture from the base floor? Looks like you had some initial concrete layer before the thick insulation boards.

The thickness of that slab...damm

Novice here!! May I ask if when you have levelled it that’s it? Do you add a liquid form of cement on top or do you leave it as this sand mixture?

Carl, what are the screed mud mix ratios ?

flooring and drywall is probably where I'll always leave it to it's own professionals, it requires a lot of experience, a diy person can do 90% of the work, but the last 10% is what gets noticed, my dad "used to say 20% money gets you 80% of the work".

Hello! Why would you need the insulation and what material is it made of?

question? Why did you not install some wire or steel rebar in this floor?

What is it with dogs and cats and fresh cement?

Without the need for insulation, would the screed need to be bonded to existing floor or can it be laid directly onto the floor?

Hi there gd vid but out of curiosity why didn't you tape the joints

Good evening. After the screed how long to I need to wait before laying a laminated floor.

The job could have been improved by closing the gaps between the insulation boards with some gun foam and taping the joints of the top layer. Also a PE membrane should have gone on top to protect the aluminium foil, cement is caustic and reacts very well with aluminium, so it eats trough, the membrane also acts as a vapour barrier. You gave up on the cat exploring this big litter box 😂?

The styrofoam insulation sawing nearly killed me 🙉

cat be like "lemme check your freshly poured concrete floor"

No VCL or foam buffer round the edges??

Can I put this insulation directly on top of loose sand and then put screed over the insulation?

Very nice movie :-) funny and good work!

How much Watter did you mix

If that was pex plumbing that the insulation was laid over top of... why would you put contrete/mortar on the floor as your subfloor to make it permanently inaccessible?

What is your screed mix ratios?

This is the first in a series that I have found on KZfaq but it doesn’t seem to start at the beginning. Who are you, and where are you at and where are you from? Why are you doing this and what are your plans? I just found you on KZfaq and can’t find any background on what is going on. Please help!

no band of insulation separating it from the wall ?

160 mm of what looks to be hard foam (pir/resol?). That's an immense amount of isolation. Rd of around 8 or so? Why so much? Or is it different stuff? Looks like a beautiful place though!

Should there not be a membrane under the insulation before you lay it?

Honest question from over in the US, what advantages are there to using this method ( low hydration Portland sand mix 1/5 or so guessing ?) To just pumping in some concrete?

Hello. I noticed the house we purchased the extention attached to the house - the flooring does not have insulation. There is a membrane and 4" concrete on the floor. However is there an option i could insalate the floor before we decide to put either laminate or carpet down? Thanks in advance

You forgot to tape the joints of the insulation... It is a small detail but makes a huge difference in preventing leaks and vapor

стыки полистирольных плит можно было проклеить скотчем простым - не забивался бы раствор и не образовывались бы мостики холода. И простую сетку проволочную для армировки почему не использовали? большая площадь бетона без армировки-это плохо. Получается, это была полусухая бетонная стяжка. А маяки-как уровень стяжки регулировался? Примерно на глаз?

NYC video

must get myself a pair of them safety boots..

Hi, Why was grooved cut into the plasterboard please?

Great video, but I could not slow it down even to a normal pace, love the cat part! Good work boys

do they have building regs in France ?

No vapour barrier under the insulation??

¡¡¡ Cat Very Nice !!

What is under the insulation? - looks like a concrete floor. If it is an earth floor, how did you seal it?

Ese relleno porque lo colocan?? Humedad o frío? Que pais es?

Thanks for the video. Wasn't it necessary to tape the joints, usually done with aluminium tape? Also shouldn't a moisture barrier have been put down before the screed? I understand the screed can chemically react with the PIR surface.

So 100mm then 80mm, would putting down 150mm insulation first be sufficient

Hi hope you are well, if you only had a small area like 1m x 1.5m and didnt have access to a mechanical mixer, how would you go about mixing the screed? Thanks

Construction ASMR

What ratio of sand and cement ? Thanks

I watch these @ 2x speed, on acid, it's the correct speed.

In California we would order ready mix in a truck and have a pumper hose it in

Hi, what thickness was the screed?

Why did you not install under - floor heating ?

What depth is the screed layer?

Are those steel toe-cap sliders? 😉
