Outbuildings: Week 27, Day 4

Outbuildings: Week 27, Day 4

The scaffolders returned this morning to remove the boards and poles dismantled by the builders yesterday, so now the inside of the Courtyard is free of scaffolding, ready for the installation of the windows and doors in the coming days. (The scaffolding is being retained around the ‘outside’ of the building, to preserve access to fit the ridge tiles – for which the dry-fix ridge tile retaining product choice was finally confirmed mid-afternoon).

More of the rainwater downpipes were installed – as well as the blue engineering bricks (below DPC) for the external staircase and buttresses.

The electrical installation team were also back on-site for the first time in a few days, to continue work in the Garages.

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.
