WEEK 18. 23-11-12.

PROGRESS:

 

sorry - I figured out why I couldnt log into site and fixed it.

see progress below - not as much as to date but the transition from the timber frame team back to blocklayers shows just how slow block work is compared to timber.

Its fairly slow at the moment but a steady team of 3 are up there daily.

 

Progress:

 

to rear:

blockwork is being lain around the timber frame carcass.

blockwork attached to timber frame behind with 50mm gap between.

timber first wrapped in a (green) waterproof membrane.

windows frames are built out in a timber stud.

for real window to attach to later.

 

to front:

dummy chimneys put up.

bit of work to finish roof edges done.

 

In addition the link is complete (without roof) - side walls only.

Im still chatting to Martin about slate type - will keep u informed.

There may be one purple type slate available - will inform u of

price saving/ increase before making any commitment.
