Day 104 - Ground floor concrete planks are on

Day 101 - Basement ready

Friday 30th Sept.  We missed the deadline for the timber frame and had to push it back a week.  Finishing off the basement walls has taken longer than expected and the load bearing walls needed longer to cure than anticipated before supporting the concrete floor planks.  In the meantime finishing off the perimeter walls fronting the sheet piling. Steels in place spanning the TV room, around the openings for the walk on glass floor sections and the stair opening.


Concrete planks arrive Monday.
