Week Ten – Things start to go vertical

T'was the week before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Not quite true, the steel fabricators did their bit in getting the pergola framework up as well as much of the backbone so that the carpenter can do his bit.
You can now get a good idea of the height of the ceiling over the kitchen and meals area.

The timber framing has been delivered in readiness for the carpenter in the new year.
The concretor was to come back to do the initial polish of the slab prior to any other building going up but it looks like that will also wait until the new year.

John the plumber, as usual, has been working away in small chunks, some of the copper piping has been done for the gas works.

Support bolts are set in the concrete and levels are set with the laser level

While most of the framework is welded off site, some last minute adjustments are required

But the weekly site meeting must go on


So much precision from the crane driver who lifts and places with millimetre accuracy

This indicates the ceiling height over the dining and kitchen area


The last timber delivery before Christmas
