Project - Week 3
Monday 11th SeptemberService pipes are laid to "under stairs cupboard" | Monday 11th SeptemberTrenches backfilled & internal floor levelled. | | Monday 11th SeptemberDPC almost complete. Site levelled ready for concrete sub-floor on Wednesday. | Tuesday 12th SeptemberHeavy overnight rain, but it does not stop us bedding battens in concrete at the screed level for the sub-floor. | | Tuesday 12th SeptemberMeanwhile John finishes laying the waste pipes for the downstairs bathrooms. | Wednesday 13th SeptemberDonald returns with his concrete machine to pour 9½ cubic metres of concrete for our sub-floor (see VIDEO for more info). | | Wednesday 13th SeptemberBy lunchtime Bennie & Douglas have removed the screed timbers & finished levelling the floor. The weather is fine and hopefully the floor will set before the scaffold arrives tomorrow! | Thursday 14th SeptemberThe sub-floor has set hard, and an early start for the scaffolders results in good progress by morning tea break. | | Thursday 14th SeptemberBy lunchtime we have a scaffold along 3 sides of the building (one left open to allow access for the panels and trusses), and have also taken delivery of 10 m³ of underfloor insulation (a good platform for this photo). | Friday 15th SeptemberThe Norscot lorry arrived at 8.00 a.m. and Gavin Ross starts unloading with his JCB teleporter. | | Friday 15th SeptemberUnfortunately the JCB breaks down laden with panels in a most inconvenient spot, but Gavin saves the day by fetching his tractor and we complete the unloading, albeit mostly onto our neighbour's ground - many thanks to Pete and Sue (hope you don't mind)! | Friday 15th SeptemberWe finally get all the kit safely offloaded, and the scaffolders complete their work so we are ready for the construction to begin on Monday morning. | | | | |
