Saturday 7th May
Work had pretty much ground to a halt awaiting the delivery of the window, eventually John decided to go ahead with building the front wall anyway and then come back to fit the window.
First the garage door was removed
Then the surrounding timber
Next a layer of rubber was installed as some additional damp proof protection.
One lintel in place
Two lintels in place, these are reinforced concrete 6″x9″ and 2.4m long
Another layer of rubber for damp proofing
Wall construction begins in earnest.
Finished inside view
Finished outside view
The wall was built using 440x215x300mm Thermalite blocks and each one weighs about 16kg!
Monday 16th May
The window finally arrives
First the window sill is installed
Here are all the panes of glass ready to be installed
Window in place and the first pane of glass fitted.
