Finally, the house has a big collar! After hours of tediously shuttering the beam and the lintels, the concrete has been poured and voila the ringbeam and lintels are all in place and make it look a little more like we are building a house. Leaving a little more time for the concrete to cure and then we will be ready to start building the gable ends. Still waiting for some of the timber yards to finalise their quotes but we have found a great place to buy the natural slate to eventually cover the roof so we can get on with ordering those at least!
