Self levelling

We were both keen to get on with the laundry room floor today, so after a plate full of banana pancakes, we headed outside to focus on the task.

My job was to mix the cement, I had 2 minutes a bag. Brian was then going to be laying it. He had already made himself a special tool for the job - which he named ‘the squeegy’. It was a piece of rubber he had secured onto a wooden bar, which he had then fixed onto an old mop handle. This was going to be an important implement to ensure he could move the self levelling cement around for it to find its natural position.

Once we started the job we effectively had 20 minutes to finish it. That would be when the first lot of mixed cement would start to set!

here we go…
