Week 14: Thursday 6th August

A very productive day with the three chaps from Glosford and four chaps plus the boss from Reeves on site - with David and me hovering somewhere in the background.

Here you can clearly see how the panels are made up:

• overall width 172 mm (this is one of the first to be made up to this size, previously they have been 142 mm)
• two pieces of plywood, sandwiched together with a 'solid' foam
• standing upright, on top of a sole plate
• all joints are sealed with expanding foam or adhesive as appropriate

By the end of play today we had the definite makings of a 'house'.

Here you are looking down into the lounge:

•  David is standing at the foot of what will be the stairs
• Phil is standing at the doors to the dining area
• the non-SIPs construction is the cloakroom
• the study is in the far corner
• the utility room doesn't have any walls yet.
