Week Twenty-one – common wall in place, some gutters and ceiling channels

To split the current single title into 2 separate Torrens titles the building needs to fire separation compliance with the Performance Requirements of the Building Code of Australia. Simply put, we need a fire rated party wall. The timber framing for it went up last week with the ceiling joists needing to be cut and separated, propped into place with the insulation, fibre cement panels and finished with the Soudal expanding filler.


The box gutters are an integral part of the new roof and have to be measured in place,  built and installed before the lid goes on. The bracing is done for the gutters to sit on, meanwhile the Rondo supports are started in readiness for the ceilings.




Rain is forecast for Sunday and it’s a long weekend so the tarps go up.


We need to work out what the final product will look like so play with colour splashing a bit on the front of the house, it looks like Solver’s Stone White will be the colour for most surfaces with the doors probably black to match the window’s timber.
