Video Blog Episode 3 – Ground work
Some of the floor laying and demolition work we’ve been doing in Roger’s bungalow. The ground work before you see real progress.
Laying an insulated floor on top of concrete:
– Put down a damp proof membrane (DPM)
– Screw and nail down laths
– Cut Celotex to size and lay between laths
– Glue tongue and grooved chipboard to laths
– Hammer into place
– Screw down
Going around corners is the tricky bit.

This film sounds truly inspirational. This is what Westacre is all about.

I found this powerful article and would like to share it with you. It is about the same Magic of Connection that is my intention for Westacre and its spiritual centre. Please take time to read it.

Lessons learned so far:
1) If a tool is on offer from B&Q, and the box is unsealed, check the contents before you take it home.
2) Get everything you need on site before you start a job.
3) Be smart about clearing out rubble from demolitions straight away.
