Sampson Grange

The week started with freezing temperatures and snow flurries here at Sampson Grange. Owing to the nature of mortar we are unable to lay bricks or blocks in near freezing temperatures and this unfortunately slows down progress in these weather conditions. However, over the last couple of days the daytime temperatures have increased and we have continued some of the substructure works on Block 2 and preparations are ongoing for the floor screed on Block 1. The photographs show blockwork installed on Block 1 and the insulation ready to be laid under the floor screed to Block 1. The insulation is 150mm thick and helps toward the overall thermal insulation of the Blocks.
