Week 16, Day 5

I’ve only been at home for a couple of days in the past two weeks so I don’t have many photos of the progress on the second floor. Here are a couple showing the second floor structure and boarding, using the same approach as for the first floor.

Week 16, Day 4:

  • More work on the second floor boards
  • The addition of some steel plates below the steel beams over the balcony area, to support the outer skin of blocks
    • These would normally cause a thermal bridge across the cavity, but since the balcony area is outside the thermal envelope that isn’t the case here.
