Roof trusses for the garage roof arrive ordered and delivered. All we need is garage walls to stand them on ...
The steel beam for the garage roof will span the garage door openings. Agonised over the size of the beam and locations of pre-drilled holes for the roof timbers. We shall see if we got it right.
Underfloor heating pipes downstairs in the main area. Talk about spaghetti.
Building regs and something called Hetas require external vents for the fireplace/ woodburning stove. The design required ventilation airbricks and ducts on both sides of the building to ensure decent airflow wherever the wind is coming from. We've used 4 inch drainpipe for the ducting.
Drain runs being dug - storm water to soakaway and foul water to the sewage treatment plant - when we get one.
Underfloor heating pipework in the kitchen area. Note the gaps for units & island. Wouldn't want to be heating the floor underneath a cupboard.
Example of foul drain running below a storm drain
Manifold under the stairs in the open area. Stairs? What stairs? You might well ask. See that ladder ... ?
The power cable for sewage treatment plant ready to run through the trench. The plant will be just about the last thing installed. Apparently there's a risk that bits of it could get nicked if you install it too early. Who would want to steal bits of a sewage treatment plant? Amazing.
This week we ordered and received the trusses for garage roof. Some of the dimensions have changed since the original plans were drawn up, which caused a certain amount of head scratching. We could have had the trusses constructed on site but it made sense to go to a manufacturer and just buy them in. It did mean ringing around and emailing them some drawings. Similarly we had to think about the steel beam for the garage door openings. Got several quotes and in the end went back to the same firm who supplied the steels for the barn.
And finally
