Screed is down but now they are complaining of the high humidity in the house compounded by the snow and humidity outside - to avoid mould I need to pay EUR 600 in electricity costs to heat up the house and speed up the cement drying.
In addition, it is too cold to do the plastering outside the house and so I am told I will have extra costs to bring the scaffolding back when the weather is better.
The water connection for the 'out' flow is currently being done.
Despite the weather, there was a little furry visitor to the site.

Can you check the humidity outside? Usually in winter humidity is even LOWER than in summer. Therefore I cannot follow their argument that this is an issue. They must have known before that this could happen and this cannot be a quality issue. It might be that it now takes a few days longer to dry out but I am sure there is no problem involved. I would only accept the dryers if you are in a severy time constraint.
Regard the scaffolding - again that I think is part of the builder's problem. Whether he leaves the scaffolding there or not is his decision or is he on time and material?
maybe lost in translation ...
