Outbuildings: Week 16, Day 3

Outbuildings: Week 16, Day 3

While today’s overview photo looks superficially similar to yesterday’s, the roof trusses are now properly braced (longitudinally and diagonally) and there’s been further progress on the upper layers of brickwork.

There was also a delivery of a couple of pallets of concrete blocks which are needed for the gable end walls.

As planned, the scaffolders were back on-site to raise the level of the scaffolding platform around the barn / garage (which has higher walls than the rest of the complex)

More work on the upper layers of brickwork, incorporating the guttering brackets that were delivered the other day.

Black metal supports for the rise-and-fall guttering brackets along the east-facing side of the workshop – now up to the full height of the brickwork

Also more preparation for installing the next set of roof trusses – and the delivery of a portable scaffold tower for use inside the garages.
