Bricking up progress in the heat wave

The hottest week of the year so far and certainly the hottest spell of weather for quite some time.

The brick layers are finding the heat challenging, however they are making good progress and hope to be complete and ready to knock through soon.

The steel beams are now ordered. these steel beams will provide support to the house between the dining room and kitchen and across the rear of the property to the house extension.

Steel Ring Beam Foundations for the House Extension

Yesterday and today the building team have been focussing on creating a solid steel ring beam foundation structure on which the load of the house extension will rely on.

There has been a lot of concrete filling and drying since my last post.

These photographs clearly show the outline of the house extension by way of the the steel beams laid on the concrete pads.

The house extension foundation should be very strong as they are reinforced with steel beams on 2.4 metre depth concrete pads.
