I am building a log cabin from a kit.
I have put down 4 inches of concrete and the base, which is a framework of 70mm pressure treated wooden posts. The cabin floor which is tongue and groove boards, sits on top of this frame.
In my wisdom I decided to put down a layer of the silver backed bubble film to insulate under the floor before i screwed the floorboards down.
I then laid carpet tiles on top and was happy.
Today I lifted the corner tile to put a cable under it, and there is a damp feel to the floowboards.
I cant get underneath any more, but I drilled a 30mm inspection hole and cut through the foil to try to find out what is happening.
It feels like there is water on the underside of the foil, closest to the ground, but it is dry under the floorboards.
My guess is that with all the rain, there is bound to be some water get under the shed, and possibly some sweating out of the concrete?
Can anyone advise on what I should do.
