The place is really starting to take shape now Monday and Tuesday was taken up doing the wall plate joists and plywood to the deck along with the noggins for joist support. They also made up a temporary stairs which makes things very easy for access would highly recommend this! Yesterday Wednesday they started to erect the ridge and the common rafters so we now have the complete shape of the roof valleys and ridges and internal walls inside. Photos to follow on, i called in last night on the way home and got nabbed by my dad before he left to start building the gable wall so we can get in the steel girders for purlins today/tomorrow. Built them up to the height needed last night. (Amazed at how many cars slowed to a crawl when passing last night i think people are only starting to realise the size of it now because it has always been hidden behind the mud heaps!)The two carpenters are on the hourly rate and i am also putting them up in the local hotel so they start in the morning at half 7 and finish at 8 in the evening they are getting great work done and im still saving a fortune in comparison to local quotes. My father has been blocklaying the conservatory and that is starting to take good shape now too. He is going to concentrate on the gable wall now today, we got the two RSJ's on that welded together to give it extra strength and the blocks will be starting this morning there is probably three days blockwork to complete the house yet and the carpenters have really steamed ahead now so the blockwork is falling behind.
