Week 4 - Rebuilding road side external walls

The asbestos guys had their second visit to site on Monday this week, to remove all the asbestos external wall cladding from the road frontage. To do this, and to rebuild the walls afterwards we need scaffolding - or as i like to think of it: my new 30 foot climbing frame. It even has some monkey bars (sort off).

There was two off them and they were in and out, taking all the asbestos with them by lunchtime. Which was nice, although it does make the cost of it seem all the more eye watering.

So as you can see we now have no external walls on the road side - so better get building then really!

The frame stud work you can see went up very quickly and it has been very nice to be putting materials back into the building rather than just throwing stuff out. looks good and sturdy too, just the two walls you can see in the photo below swallowed up over 300 meters of timber.

New stud work going in (above) lower workshop wall, no windows in this section. (Below) wall to road side at gallery level, there will be double glass doors (Juliet balcony) on the right and large multi pain window on the right.
