Outbuildings: Week 15, Day 2

Outbuildings: Week 15, Day 2

As with several other days recently, most of the activity has been on the northern side of the building, mostly out of shot of the overview photo.

Today the brick arch was formed over the easternmost garage door opening, as well as around the beam over the wide internal door opening behind that.

Outbuildings: Week 14, Day 3

Another day where all the work was out of shot to the left of the overview photo.

Good progress on framing the floor joists between the ‘attic’ trusses installed yesterday – and also in forming 3 of the 4 shallow brick arches over the garage door openings. There are 8 or 9 courses of bricks and blocks to go on top of the arches – although the weight of the roof will be supported by steel beams sitting about half a metre behind the brickwork (supported by the blockwork piers visible through the door openings).
