Outbuildings: Week 31, Day 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Installation of the Aco threshold drain channels at the four Garage Door openings, connecting to the underground pipework installed previously – together with some more preparation of the foundation for the block paving (including the delivery of a further lorry-load of stone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note there’s a gap between the Aco channels and the concrete floor slab, where there was previously a row of blue engineering bricks – with large vertical holes – which acted as the ‘shuttering’ for the concrete floor slab. The roller shutter Garage Doors will sit behind<\/em> the brickwork openings and it seems better to have more concrete in that gap, rather than some of the block paving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was also further work in the Courtyard, back-filling around the rainwater harvesting tank enabling the adjacent drains to be connected up and taken further to the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first eight of the reconstituted stone steps for the external staircase were also delivered, ready for those to start being installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the delivery of a further 50m of 75mm-diameter ventilation ducting on Friday, the three ‘Extract’ vents were connected up to their above-ceiling plenum chamber, enabling the installation of the remainder of the loft insulation to proceed (once some further insulation is delivered).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
