was going to finish the floor levelling today, but with the porch joining the lounge , there is a wee step of 3-6 mm and i don't want to thin set any tiles , so i'm going to set up for more concrete pouring . i will jam up a walkway, to use for today, re pour three quarters of the room , and tmw i can pull the jams out and pour the walkway to finish that job off. if i skimped on pouring more , i would have to piss around a lot more when it comes to applying the tiles perfectly level , with thin and thick sets.

500 litres i would of used approximately
