Today, we finished off laying down the plastic sheeting over the ground. We completed the strip over the Entertainment Room and Bedroom 2 which was fairly difficult with the array of pipes etc. looming out of the ground! The last section was then levelled and scraped flat again (after the petrol compactor had whacked it down a week ago), and we put out the last strip of DPM across Bedroom 3 and the Utility Room. The corner in the Utility room was particularly complicated with dozen pipes and conduits sticking up including one tunnel as well!
We also went around with our 100mm wide silver duct tape and sealed all the overlapping joints on all the DPM plastic sheets we have put down.

Tomorrow, we will mix some light grade concrete and put a blob down at every single intrusion through the plastic where pipes and conduits had to come up so that any slits and cuts in the plastic are covered up nice and solid to avoid the very liquid free flowing concrete from sliding under the plastic and ruining the performance of the Floor Slab.
