Outbuildings: Week 27, Day 1

The most visible progress today was the removal of scaffolding from the South- and West-facing elevations of the Garage block; the scaffolding around the rest of the courtyard will be removed in the coming days.

The removal of the scaffolding clears the way for work to start on the external staircase up to the first-floor door into the ‘Hay Loft’ (for which the design has now mostly been confirmed) – hence the clearing of the debris over the foundation pad for that – and the stacks of blocks that will form the inner skin of the walls to support the staircase.

Other progress today included:

  • Installation of the foundation concrete for the decorative brickwork ‘buttress’ details on the North of the Garage block
  • Installation of the chipboard flooring inside the ‘Hay Loft’

Outbuildings: Week 19, Day 1

The scaffolding team were back today, removing one section of scaffolding (which was blocking the roof structure) and adding height to the sections by the internal and gable walls to the garage.

The build team made good use of the extra height on the scaffolds to bring the north-west gable up to full height – and to form the roof structure where the Workshop roof joins the Garage roof (at the top-left of the overview photo).

There was also a delivery of roofing battens and under-tile roofing membrane, for installation once the roof structure has been completed.
