Full steam ahead!

Since the last post we've been very busy. A lot of progress has been made - visible and actual. The underfloor insulation has been installed (the white stuff between the joists above) and the floor has been laid over the whole first floor now. Merlot is here inspecting the job. The 4 framing packs for the first floor arrived at Midday Wednesday.

Below shows the frames being erected since Wednesday and some of the steel that helps support the roof. The second picture below shoes Jacob and I moving one of the smallest bits of frames out of the way(sits under the steel portal-frame to the left).

The frames going up make the most visible difference to any site, whereas they have been prefabricated and we've merely tacked them in place. Most of the work today has been cutting slots in the floor for the steel to be bolted onto the block wall beneath. [click on the photos to see them larger]
