Week 26:  26th October

  

6 months on from breaking ground; just under three months since the SIPs started to go up and we are really beginning to look house-like.

 

We now have a proper floor (only at ground floor level); the screed dried perfectly over the weekend and has made the whole building seem much brighter.

 

 

The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that we have a new member of the build team.  Jane arrived on Monday and is staying with us for four days.  She is most certainly earning her keep and so far has finished off the damp proof membrane around the main garage (in the rain), helped to strengthen stud partition walls with studs and noggings.  She is now an expert with a cordless drill and this morning's trip to Screwfix proved to be an expensive one for the Deans.  David Dean will be pleased to learn that the nail gun has not yet won her over.  The fact that she is seen here using a spirit level to ensure her noggin is perfect, demonstrates the quality of her work.
