Outbuildings: Week 29, Day 3

Outbuildings: Week 29, Day 3

More progress on the drainage in the Courtyard, with a focus on the underground rainwater discharge pipework. The downpipes that will be used to feed the Rainwater Harvesting tank must connect directly to the underground pipes, without ‘gullies’ that would risk introducing ground-level contamination into the tank.

Drain pipes to discharge the rainwater falling into the Courtyard-facing roof into the Rainwater Harvesting tank.

Installation of the ‘stable’ Door and Window, purchased from Monarch Equestrian, at the West end of the Garage block. While the room they serve will mostly be used for general storage, the earlier buildings used to have an actual horse stable at this location, with an old wooden stable door (for the horse that would have pulled a cart to deliver milk from the old dairy farm, maybe?).

More work on the ventilation system. More first-fix plumbing.

Outbuildings: Week 29, Day 2

Good progress with the rainwater drainage around the Courtyard. Further progress with the first-fix plumbing. Plasterboarding of the ceiling over the Workshop and Utility Room now completed, along with the first 100mm of loft insulation (laid between the ceiling joists) – enabling the start of work on the MVHR ventilation ducts.
