Few weeks go by and, for once, I dont see a lot of progress despite roofers, joiners, brickies, scaffolders and QSP on site. I think is going to be true for the next period as we start all the insulation and battening for the cladding … there’s simply a lot of work in preparation. There’s an awful lot on insulation on-site!
We are part-way through the first floor roof .. yeah some of the house (the eastern end) is reasonably water-tight. The insulation and membrane went on in a day (after a day on hold for rain) but then we’re part way thru four further days of detailing of parapets, gully’s and water outlets.
Joiners have been busy on boarding out the parapets and building exterior walls around the first floor bedroom.
I’ve put in soil pipes, ventilation system and first-floor wiring. Hooray for engineered joists, they make life so easy for fitting out. I’ve also put in some of the FF bathroom studwork .. and of course the bathroom design changed once we could walk around it.
Scaffolders have moved all the house scaffolding away from the walls so they can be insulated and battened.
and .. I can see the garage with all the scaffolding removed. Its a big bugger : ) and I’m thinking of the boarding and fitting out. The corten garage door didn’t work out as too expensive but in the meantime hormann and others have released ‘rusty steel’ finishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
