Flooring preparation

After the weak beams and post have been replaced, Kunihara-san put up some speed and is now working towards the flooring preparation.

First let's look at the repair work of last time from a bit closer. The view is much better after the scaffolding is removed, and you can see the four beautiful wood pieces fitting together neatly.



This photo shows an extension joint - two wood pieces have been put together without any kind of nail or other metal piece.



This shows how the concrete bases work: at the time they were poured, it was ensured that they are level, and now it is much easier to place the framework for the flooring on top.



This shows again the main room with all bases, and framework complete.



Here a floor insulation panel is cut to size and ready to be inserted into the framework.



Kunihara Junior, follows up by taping the seams of the panels, so that the floor becomes airtight, a precondition for heating and cooling efficiency.
