Our screed has now been in the house for almost 4 weeks, and of course, we have been ventilating properly all along. Starting soon, hopefully at the beginning of September, we will begin the functional and readiness heating, which will release a significant amount of moisture.
According to our site manager, we can already start with the filling and sanding work so that only wallpaper and paint will be needed afterwards. Do you agree with this, or should we wait at least 3-4 weeks of heating? We are a bit worried that the plaster might come off the ceiling during heating if we do all the filling now.
The kitchen installer is scheduled for November 2nd. By then, the painting and flooring work must be completed. After that, we can move in. Therefore, we would like to use the drying time productively so that the final phase is not too stressful.
