Outbuildings: Week 14, Day 3

Another day where all the work was out of shot to the left of the overview photo.

Good progress on framing the floor joists between the ‘attic’ trusses installed yesterday – and also in forming 3 of the 4 shallow brick arches over the garage door openings. There are 8 or 9 courses of bricks and blocks to go on top of the arches – although the weight of the roof will be supported by steel beams sitting about half a metre behind the brickwork (supported by the blockwork piers visible through the door openings).
