Outbuildings: Week 17, Day 2

Very slightly cooler weather today. Further progress with the blockwork and padstone supports at the ends of the steel beams – and then the installation of the beams which will support the roof trusses above the garage door openings.

Almost all of today’s activity was off to the left of the overview photo, erecting the first set of roof trusses on the (relatively small) two-storey section and preparing to start installing the shallow brick arches over the garage door openings.

The steel beam over the wide internal door opening also got installed – visible on the photo above (and also in the overview shot).

In addition, there was one of the monthly Site Meetings with the Architect, which includes a valuation of progress to date (and materials delivered to site) to support the monthly stage-payment on the building works.
