Setting out and construction of the bottom few courses for the external staircase and installation of the first of the rainwater downpipes.
Also a monthly site meeting with the Architect, to address some questions and to confirm the valuation for the next stage-payment.
No further progress with either the scaffolding or the electrical installation.
Better weather today, enabling the installation of the guttering to be completed. With the scaffolding still in place, the installation of the aluminium downpipes has been postponed – so there are temporary polythene sleeves acting as downpipes for now. The scaffolding around the inside of the Courtyard is due for removal on Monday (leaving the scaffolding around the back of the buildings in place to enable the ridge tiles to be installed – once the fixing and ventilation solution for those has been confirmed).
The electrical team were away on another job but the alarm installer returned to complete their first-fix – and a little more of the home automation and data cabling was installed.
