UTILITIES: floor slab

The floor slab needed to be continued across into the new half of the room. This was basically a repeat of the procedure for the original floor slab. We had to dig down and add hardcore and a layer of sand. We then joined the damp proof membrane with tape and fixed batons along the sides to give the level.
