Week 10, Day 4

Week 10, Day 4:

  • More blockwork and steelwork, mostly on the southern elevation
  • Because of the long spans over the lift-and-slide door openings, the lintels for the outer cavity walls are Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) steel rather than concrete as used for the smaller openings
  • There’s another steel joist over the open-plan room on the south side, to support the wall between the bedrooms on that side
