Week 26, Day 5

Gradient to balcony floor formed using wedge-shaped strips under boards

(The above photo taken rather later, after some of the cabling was in place, when I spotted that one of the darker-coloured wooden strips clearly showed the wedge profile.)

Wooden wall at end of balcony

The wall at the north end of the balcony is effectively part of the cavity wall structure but there’s no supporting masonry underneath so it’s framed in timber in order to be lightweight but it will get filled with cavity wall insulation like the rest of the walls.

Mains and data cable ready for electrical first-fix
