At present it has a concrete slab on one side which we've been advised just to concrete over. The same person has advised that a damp proof membrane will merely push any water under the membrane towards the stone walls of the building. I think he is talking tosh in both cases but am tempted by what seems to be quite a short cut. Have you heard of this approach and of any positive or negative feedback? Good luck btw, it's a long old process isn't it? We’ve just laid our own concrete floors on the two extensions to our main barn but are yet to do the barn itself.
