Scaffolding up and walls take shape

The last three days have seen the most significant change to the structure. A truck-load of scaffolding was delivered on Monday and after a return of the JCB to clear soil from the area around the new foundations, the team erected two storeys of scaffolding. This has enabled the crew to get on with the work of fitting the wall sections, with the outline of the extension more clearly defined than ever before. While the stainless steel covering for the roof is still another week or two away, the high-tech i-joists are on site, ready to be fitted once the wall structure has been completed. Yes, even the building trade has been permeated with i-this and i-that.

It’s a shame they don’t look as good of the real thing!
