More blockwork!

Well, it's been a while but at last we are at the full height of the walls (excluding the gable ends). Looks like we've built a very large shoebox now!!! Next step is to pour a concrete ringbeam which will incorporate the door and window lintels. We now have all the shuttering wood so just need to get it firmly secured and we're back to mixing concrete!




Once the ringbeam is in place, it's time for the gables and starting the roof....pretty scary stuff!!!

We've planned the wood we need for the roof and are now in the process of obtaining quotes from various timber yards and merchants ready for delivery at the beginning of October.
