new garage build from the uk

[Finallygotit]

Work is definitely coming along!

Is that your wooden fence or your neighbors that's slowly settling to the ground?

50/50

Any type of masonry work is expensive over here. Brick is very expensive.

 

[dutchgray]

I was wrong about the floor pour, they have gone over the internal skin.

 

[UncleWinnet]

2nd part off floor layed will get level tomorrow morning then start on the brick work

 

[UncleWinnet]

so floor nice and flat

also got some bricks but the weather is **** here

 

[Finallygotit]

Look at it this way, you will have a nice slow cure on the concrete.

Lemons --------> lemonade!

 

[UncleWinnet]

so weather been good today so more bricks

should be more done tomorrow as they want to make up for lost time

 

[tracktoy]

looks great, going to a fair size when done

It appears that you have good neighbors to let you set up staging in their yard. Looking good.

What is the seam about midway down the wall for? Will you be replacing the fence? Or is that he neighbor responsibility?

expison join new fence panels all ready here gone 50/50 with the neighbour as thats what you do

 

[UncleWinnet]

so bit off an updat it has been decide to do the summer room instead of waiting as this will make it easier to dig the foundations as we can still get the digger in at this point

if we left it till after the garage is built we would not get a digger in which will put the price up quite a lot

just means we will have to knock a few bricks down on this wall

so ground works for summer room will start next week

so just more brick work on garage today

 

[scheu]

Another question, the space between the bricks and the blocks, what is it for?
BTW, love the details in your posts.

That's for insulation to go in the cavity. Probably the most common way to build houses/extensions/garages here in the UK.

PS. It's looking excellent.

 

[readhead]

What kind of insulation and how is it installed?

Rockwool is the most common:

 

[UncleWinnet]

[UncleWinnet]

conservatory gone

brick work on lintel done

[UncleWinnet]

so bit off a nightmare over the last cpl off days

1st of friday morning the skip wagon turns up dropped 2 skips in the road the was just about to lift up the full skip and it had no lift so they had to ring for a Mechanic to come out he tried every thing but nothing work so ended up at 1 pm they had to drive back to there depot with the host down like this

by then we had lost a few hrs work as the dumper could not get round the truck not that he could put the stuff anywhere any way so a 2nd skip wagon turd up to move and takeaway the skips

then as we was digging the foundations we ran in to 2nd problem some 1 had concreted over a man hole not good phone call to building inspector coulden get here till yesterday had to dig an extra foot wide to take the soil pipe past where the founditions are this is where the man hole cover was

so now we have foundations in

should have some delvers this week more brick and sand and also timber and roof tiles for the garage

 

[UncleWinnet]

brick work was built up last week then floor was poured this morning

 

[sawduststeve]

Evening UW,

You're making good progress, although it's never quick enough is it, and it's the right idea to do it all in one hit, you'll be glad you did when it's all over.
Good work fella,keep it up.

Regards
Steve.

 

[UncleWinnet]

[readhead]

Looks good mate , it's coming along at quite a pace.
The good weather helps .
I'd be inclined to stick an extension pole into the end of the roller.

Steve.
