The Saturday before last the first load of timber arrived with the frames for the ground floor. All last week I'd been rearranging the loose timber to make room for the frames to go in as there was nothing else to do on site. The weather ha been a bit off and on and it has not been easy getting the waterproofers on site, despite several opportunities when they could have come but did not.
Anyway this week the builders are back and we've been getting on with it, putting the top-plates on and the frames in and bolting everything down plumb. We've been cat-walking along the top-plates knocking in bolts and tightening nuts - just as well I don't suffer from vertigo!
The progress on Monday can be seen (above) with the first frame up and the top plates bolted on the block walls. Before the end of Tuesday all the frames are up for the ground storey (below).
Sent me a plan!!!
