Ground floor walls, 24th September

Lots of work done yesterday - thanks everyone

The craft and play rooms.

 The stair well and hall

 Coming in the front door

 The small sitting room - corner window.

The dining area with Mark in the kitchen.

 Bob the builder

This is the ground floor - 7 blocks high, another 6 blocks will go on top for the 2nd storey.

Here is the stair well and hall again.

Guess what arrived today? our walls! Well only half of them, we are now in 3d. Mark stuck a couple on one corner just to see and brought up our rather massive windows tonight. All systems go for Friday and Saturday.

Rather a lot of photos - a very exciting day! 8th and 9th Sept 2011

The radon barrier followed by the insulation and then the steel mesh all ready to go.

Pipes are all covered at the top and almost ready for the pour in the morning.

Here we go!

 And we have a floor - yippee!

External walls here we come.

The islands were all levelled off a bit and then gravel put on top and whacked down after the pipes were laid. Almost ready to pour our floor!

These are the foundation walls for the outside stone work.

 Our two best helpers, making us lettuce soup here.

It's been a while since I updated this - been rather tired and the laptop died for 3 weeks but was kindly resurrected by Keith, Jamie and Mark. Anyway will let the photos tell the story for the main part. The internal wall foundation block work is done.
