Dartmouth extension progress.

We've had a reall buisy few weeks on site . 

Liam and the guys have been digging and mixing concrete full time. 

Underpinning the original house and pouring pads for the frame to sit on. 

Finding sewer pipes and connecting into it for the new bathroom. 

Got some really nice granit stadle stones from a quarry in Cornwall. 

We have now got the bottom plates in and all the floor joists .

I have nearly finnished framing so next week it will be roof on electrics routed in place and start building the walls .

Today it didn't rain so much

SOGGY BOTTOM BOYS

What can I say about today..? It was wet.

Above is a lovely photo of Pat (rhymes with drowned rat) 

Below is a photo showing the sweeping vista of Dartmouth , unfortunately you can't see much of it as there is a lot of rain in the way.

Timber frame extension Dartmouth

Most of the oak arrived for the timber frame consevitory that I am starting the build on tomorro. There will be a team of 3-4 on this build (including Liam Carnell restorations) we are seeing the project through from underpinning to tileing and everything in between . So there should be plenty of updates . 

Oak and glass table

Looks very nice dosnt it. ? 

Arch brace truss Lustliegh

My self and Liam Carnell restorations www.liamcarnell.com have been buisy this last 3 weeks . 

We have built walls and a roof , put up solar panels and got the building preety weather tight. 

I built a screen to house the doors and glazing panels . 

Then last job was cleening the frame . This is a right task but always looks well worth it. 

We start a new job soon so it may be a while befor I post pictures of this build finnished , but stay tuned. 

Tools of the trade

Its not computer programmers that build your frame , or smartly dressed folk that help you design them . 

It's two of these , a brain full of experience, a few tools and a bloke covered in saw dust

That's what you want isn't it?
