Worked on some tower blocks years ago, the sockets and lighting were laid on the rough concrete floor in pvc conduit, the lights were piped on the floor for the flat below, then the builder dumped a load of sharp sand over the floor, levelled it off, put rock wool slabs on then chipboard flooring over, creating a floating floor. Anyway once the people moved in and had heating on, we had to go back and fit various fancy ceiling lights for some residents, when we took the pendant down it was like being inside a big egg timer! The sand had dried out with the heating pipes also being placed on the floor!

I worked in a really old pub years ago and the floor above was filled with ash and cinder for sound proofing.
It was waste from the local block manufacturer.

I once patched up a stud wall with an egg mayo sandwich.

Not sand, had one house with walls made from muck and straw, was early 1800s cottage. Never cut out boxes so easy before

I've heard of sand being used between blast walls but never done owt on a Nuclear bunker... However I was thinking of buying one the way the worlds going.

Once did a sound studio in someones garden and had to seal all sockets and switches due to sand being poured in between studs for sound

best thing to do with it once the egg has been contaminated with donkey snot.

The poor man builds his house on the sand, the rich man builds his house on the rock.!

the rich girl wears a brassiere, the poor girl uses string. but dinah uses nothing at all: she let's the buggers swing.

I've never seen sand, but ash deafening ceilings is very common around here. Various loft insulation materials include blue/pink polystyrene beads, and stuff that looks like dried paper mache thats been shreded. also we have straw walls (known as stramit), and walls made of honey comb card board sandwiched between plasterboard.

 

[Dave Jenkins]

Was most bizarre... poured out the wall like an egg timer.....

I’m sure Pete999 mentioned a job he did for Tutankhamun in his pyramid a while back. Had trouble cutting out a back box and was hampered by all the sand flooding in!
