Hello.
I have started tearing out and digging up the kitchen floor in my cabin. There was only an old chipboard and then dirt directly underneath. The plan is to pour a slab instead. 15cm gravel, 30cm cellplast, 10cm concrete. But the question I have now is how to seal against the foundation? Not all the stones seem to be load-bearing. As you can see in the pictures, there are holes right out. (No wonder the floor was drafty in the winter.) I'm also wondering what to put between the kitchen and the next room? That room has joists with construction plastic at the bottom. (See image no. 2, 4, 5.) I have a carpenter friend who has helped me with everything so far, but I don't want to burden him with all the questions, so I'm checking with you instead.

Hi.
I have started tearing out and excavating the kitchen floor in my cabin. It was just an old particle board, then there was dirt directly underneath. The plan is to pour a slab instead. 15cm gravel, 30cm insulation board, 10cm concrete. But my question now is how to seal against the foundation? Not all the stone seems to be load-bearing. As you can see in the pictures, there are holes right out. (No wonder the floor was drafty in the winter.) I also wonder what to put between the kitchen and the next room? That room has a joist system with a construction plastic at the bottom. (See picture no. 2, 4, 5.)
