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.

More work on the below-DPC elements of the external staircase, including its floor slab and the stainless steel ‘wall starter kit’ that will tie the new brickwork to the now-existing wall. Also preparation for the two ‘buttresses’ by the garage doors.

No scaffolders again so the usual on-site build team dismantled the rest of the scaffolding around the inside of the Courtyard (after the overview photo was taken).
