Wet Wet Wet

There was a bit of a panic yesterday - the plumber was in finishing off the radiators and the heating pipes. When I went round after hey had gone home - there were damp patches on the ceilings in three of the rooms and the floor in one of the upstairs bedrooms was very wet. I rang the owner of the plumbing firm who came right round - it was about 8pm. He knew there had been a few leaks from radiators when they were pressure testing the system - but he hadn't seen all these damp patches. He agreed to check it all out in the morning. The final verdict was that it was just the water from the rads that had got in under the floor - he is sure no pipes are leaking.
The plumber has done his bit now - and the floor screed can be laid. The screeder is calling round on Monday to check things out again and see how much screed we need to order etc.
The electrician still hasn't finished - but has promised yet again to get it enough done by Monday evening so that I can apply for an electricity supply. He made that promise a week ago too - so I'll wait and see what happens on Monday.
The floor insulation has arrived - more money for Kingspan.
