Outbuildings: Week 14, Day 2

Outbuildings: Week 14, Day 2

Almost all of today’s activity was off to the left of the overview photo, erecting the first set of roof trusses on the (relatively small) two-storey section and preparing to start installing the shallow brick arches over the garage door openings.

The steel beam over the wide internal door opening also got installed – visible on the photo above (and also in the overview shot).

In addition, there was one of the monthly Site Meetings with the Architect, which includes a valuation of progress to date (and materials delivered to site) to support the monthly stage-payment on the building works.

Still more progress on the scaffolding (though it’s not quite complete yet) and all the brickwork is being built up around the inside of the courtyard,

There are a couple of steel beams required – one to support the roof over the bumped-out section of the Garages and another above the bi-fold doors at the end of the Workshop. Those are being designed by a structural engineer.
