This week we made good progress installing the plot drainage, stoning up the road and pinning out for the kerb race. Then we ground to a halt on Friday when the snow arrived. Lets hope it disappears over the weekend so we can progress next week with the road and commence scaffolding to Block 3.

 

 

The freezing temperatures have slowed the process of building the retaining wall to the road elevation. Later on in the week the temperatures increased and we were able to complete the stonework. We continued with the installation of the mains drainage in the road. Also we completed the gabion walls to the rear of blocks 2 and 3. These are used instead of a concrete retaining wall,  much more pleasing on the eye.

 

 

 

On Monday we poured the concrete slabs to blocks 2 and 3, then carried on preparing the gas proof membrane and laying the insulation to block 1 ready for concreting the floor slab on Friday. Also we commenced the installation of the deep drainage in the access road. On Friday we had a visit from the local councillors and a representative from the council, they had a walk round site and we give them a insight into the construction processes involved. 

This week the weather was kind to us enabling us complete the plot drainage around Block 1. Also the gas membrane and insulation to Blocks 2 and 3 has been installed ready for the pouring of the concrete floor screed.
