Outbuildings: Week 19, Day 2

Outbuildings: Week 19, Day 2

The forecast wet and windy weather arrived. The build team made some progress in the morning (adding the double row of bricks to the north-west gable wall) but headed home before lunchtime. Since the weather has generally been good – and is forecast to be dry for the coming days – there’s little reason to take the risk of working in the rain, when scaffold boards are slippery and it’s harder to achieve a good finish on the mortar.

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).

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