Outbuildings: Week 15, Day 4

Outbuildings: Week 15, Day 4

The weather continues to be bone-dry – but now also very hot, especially towards the end of the day. Some of today’s progress is visible in the overview photo, roughly positioning the roof trusses over the Utility Room (which were then fixed in place by the end of the day). Also some careful trimming slots into the cavity insulation boards to accept the roof trusses.

The scaffolders are booked to raise the height of the platform around the Garages on Monday.

Also had a site visit from the Solar PV installation team, advising on the installation of the in-roof ‘trays’ that will house the actual panels (instead of having roof tiles under the panels) and reviewing the arrangements for the inverter, batteries and ‘Backup Gateway’ and the cabling required for those.

More ‘finishing off’ of the walls up to the level where extra scaffolding is required. The overview photo shows a Roof Truss (temporarily) installed at the North end of the Workshop – mostly to provide a guide as to the transition from Brick to Block on the wall next to it. Later in the day, a truss was installed at the West end of the Utility room (nearest the camera).

Blockwork inner-skin now also completed above the easternmost garage door opening
