WEEK 39  - 07 - 05 -13.  

more work done to inside - upstairs and down.



drylining to timber frame portion and to hallway.

lot more plastering to upstairs - (forgot to take photo)

battens for timber cladding at utility and snug outside in place.





roadside -

set back in place - low boundary wall (to be 900mm high as seen from roadside)
will be built in block.


I have mailed town engineer today to let him deal with set back in relation to neighboring edge - he is and has been fully aware of the situation for the past month. My mail today is simply to remind him that it needs to be looked at.


Front of site is tidy and level - also areas to sides of house are tidy and made level
ready for final finish.   

Then - dry stone wall face to outer face re using natural stone on site.
Joints to be in mortar but recessed 1 inch to give appearance of 'dry stone' wall.

Decision  to be made regarding height of wall to front - Westport Town Council stipulate 900mm high wall - The front garden at Sandyhill remains approx 650mm above level of road- thus a high wall at front (900mm) will be only a small kerb as viewed from the garden side.

I am unsure should we have a 1.5 meter wall to front - to allow a 900mm high wall from garden side ..............

or.....

900mm wall as viewed from road with 350mm wal (1 foot) as viewed from garden????

You might think about.
