Week 11, Day 4

Week 11, Day 4:

  • More progress on the blockwork walls – the external walls are now as high as they can go without another lift of scaffolding, though there’s still more to do on the internal walls
    • The steel column on the south-west corner will not be encased with blockwork – instead it will get some insulation and zinc cladding later
  • More progress on the floor boards for the first floor

As the first floor window openings get formed it’s possible to get a better sense of the views.

Week 11, Day 3

Week 11, Day 3:

  • Lots more progress on the external walls, now approaching the top of the first floor level and soon ready for another lift of scaffolding
  • Good progress laying the flooring boards over the first floor joists, glued to each other and also to the joists and then screwed down
  • The site survey for the windows and external doors, confirming the dimensions, finishes etc. so that the order can be formally placed with the Internorm factory in Austria
    • This actually provided more questions than answers – see later updates
