More beautiful weather, but...

.. but the tanking membrane hasn’t cured yet. This stuff goes on a dark green colour and dries jet black, and in the upper reaches of the wall it’s cured nicely. Trouble is, below the level of the hillside it’s quite a lot cooler and so the membrane is still showing green in quite a few places.


This is going to prevent me from applying the second coat today. Cue the mock disappointment…


Still, there’s lots to do especially with the fantastic weather. First on the agenda is to clear the first floor hillside of scrub so I can measure and set out the extent of the slab-on-ground. I also need to finish levelling the tops of the rammed earth walls, and cut a rebate on the suspended-slab side for the insulation-slash-formwork.


Doesn’t sound like much, but this little lot will keep me busy all day…
