3rd June 2011

It has been a long, long time I have update this - sorry folks!!

Kitchen area :-

• All noggins around the side frame have been put in.
• The whole external walls have had waterproof structure ply board screwed to the area (with a small exception to a small bit between two windows - waiting for offcuts)

Lounge are :-

• Noggins again have been put in.
• Patio doors are now installed.
• Whole ground area here has been levelled out.
• Floor joists have been laid but ran out of cut offs for noggins.
• The whole arem also been ply boarded.
• Ceiling joists have been hung.

 Small Bedroom by Lounge :-

• Area has been levelled.
• Ceiling joists are in.
• Ply Boarded along one wall (need a window to finish this section)

Here is a pic so far of those three

Hallway :-

• As you can see from the above pic the front door is in.
• From the next picture down you will see the back door is in and ply boarded.

Master Bedroom :-

• Frame is up all the way around
• Got one window ready to go in (hopefully tomorrow) but need one more
• In the middle of levelling the ground there.

Bathroom/Small Bedroom :-

• All the frame is up.
• One window for the wall in the bedroom (same wall as backdoor) is now ply boarded

Main things I need to do next :-

• Put two footings and sleeper walls to support the joists in the centre section (Hallway/Bathroom)
• Lay joists in Master Bedroom
• Build 2 walls incorporating chimney breast tied into the frame to the left of the wheelbarrow in first pic and behind the mixer in second pic.
• Dig a trench for the soil pipe to the bathroom - just hope the hole I boxed up for it hasnt collapsed.
• Finish off levelling the ground inside the frame (running out of where to put the soil)
• Re-do the design (since it has changed slightly)

I will, fingers crossed, keep you updated more frequently.  Anyone who is good at digging and wants to do it for free let me know!
