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).

End gable wall at the north-west corner now up to full height, apart from the two courses of bricks that will follow the line of the roof

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

Outbuildings: Week 18, Day 5

Another very hot day, reaching 34 C by the end of the afternoon, so the build team started and finished an hour earlier than normal to give a bit more working time in the (relatively) cool morning.

More work on the roof structure, installing most of the ‘extensions’ to the roof trusses over the Garage Door arches.

Timber ‘extensions’ to carry the roof down over the bumped-out section of wall above the main garage (where the steel beams support the weight of the roof), neatly notched over the wall plate and the steel beam

Also more work on the gable walls at the north-east and north-west corners.

Gable wall at the north-east corner, finished apart from a few more courses on the height (once another ‘lift’ of scaffolding gets added) and two courses of headers to follow the line of the roof, bringing the bricks to the same level as the blocks
