Looking good...so far everything is exemplary, hope it keeps up until the inevitable disagreement about the size of the fridge ???

Thanks @Tennentslager.

 

Better start thinking about the fridge now then.

 

Apart from nailing a few trusses clips, I've not done much in the way of the joinery, so it's all been down to a really good bunch of guys. One of the benefits of living in a small community is that people know the standard of each other work and you generally get good communication between the different trades.

 

I can take a satisfaction from the fact that as a 'stick build' timber frame and I've quantified and procured the materials required to put it together. 

 

I think this is the bit of the build I'll miss the most. 

Neat.

Hi @Thedreamer. Looking great. Pleased to see the fire battens are in place ! ? How are you going to overcome the Part M requirement for level access for one of the exterior doors? At the moment it seems there is quite a distance between the intended finished floor height and the outside ground level.

@Redoctober The material we have around the site is called 'Rotten Rock' it breakdowns and settles to form a very compact surface.

 

When the storage container goes off the site we will take the material around the front and bring up the level up to whatever the gap required is between the ground and DPC. Therefore keeping the ramp height to a minimum.

 

We are going a bit against the norm here with the suspended timber floor and no underfloor heating, but I'm hoping that when insulated the floor will feel warmer than a slab with no underfloor heating and realistically this will probably be sufficient but for all of the very coldest days, which being on the west coast are pretty rare. 

Love the views.

Better and better.  Just look at that big open sky.
