Nice work ! that aint going to fall down any time soon

Well actually it might at the moment as the final wall anchors are not fitted and the box section steel which stops the gable end spreading is not yet made/fitted

[Gaffers]

Got some good.news this evening.  Spoke to the water company and they said I didn't need to move the sewer completely just build over it and create another access to the side of the house.

That has saved about 2k  off the proposed  build

Don't tell SWMBO. That's £2k on new cinema setup?

You should have asked, I could have told you that 

Having said that, moving such things is not to challenging as long as there is some fall to play with.

But for build over its an access at either end and then your foundations are built under, over and around (requires a minimum clearance around the pipe the gap is then filled with a suitable insulating material and lintels above). Exactly the same as what you have to do with any sewer that breaches the foundation 

All very well defined in the building regulations

Two solid days finishing off the roof timbers, all now secured, trimmed, straightened (with noggins top and bottom) and the wall plate anchored.

Scaffolding up today.

Two steel box section to fab during the week for above the bi-fold.

Bricklayers coming on Saturday morning to fill the gables in and then its on with the roof.

Looking good Mark

[EMD]

Looking good . Will be a nice place to rest your aching back after its all done

Another busy weekend, in fact a few

So the brick layers have completed the gable ends and I fabricated a steel beam for above the Bi-folds opening to stop roof spread of the gable end.

Then this weekend it was on with the facia, felt and laths:





Tiles arrive on Wednesday but, this weekends work means we are now water tight. 

Velux fitting next job once my roofer friend has marked out his tile runs.

Saw the pics on facebook, looking good there Mark

Further positive moves towards sealing the extension over the last week.

Both Velux windows have been fitted (bought from Holland as its much cheaper there than here!) including insulation collar, felt collar and flashing kit (those window sections are chuffing heavy !)

Tile fitting has started with one side gable complete and pointed, three valley cuts made, two valley cuts pointed, rear gable tiled and pointed and one velux cut in.

That is looking very good.
