Random musings on running a private hotel / gîte in Northern France

- Mark In Mayenne
- Mayenne, France
- By a beautiful river valley in North-West France. This blog is about the day-to-day events in running a group gîte in Mayenne. There's a lot of gardening, maintenance, but, I hope, a lot of fun too. Best viewed in widescreen format. This website uses cookies.

How many times do you test it before you pour the concrete?
And do you wonder, just after you've started the pour, if you should just test it again?
Hi Tim, it is being held under a pressure of ten atmospherse for 48 hours. I hope that will be enough.....
Those metal pieces for spreading the heat... I had imagined they would be universal rather than just here and there. Is there a reason for that other than the obvious cost?
Hi Jonathan, when the system is installed on a 1st floor, the heat guides cover the whole surface. However, when a concrete screed is poured on top of such a surface, the danger is that it delaminates over time. So the guides cover around 1/2 to 1/3 of the area, so that the concrete can better stick around them.
Just doing something similar in my house in Wales - though laying slate over. We can compare notes on how effective it is!
It looks like a cathedral wall from here.
