Week 8-9 - Rebuilding road side external walls / Finishing soil pipes

Nothing major happening on site this week, have just been finishing working on the two new road side external walls. The stud work was built a few weeks ago, so we have now wrapped them in a waterproof breather membrane and put there first external skin on. They are then battened vertically to create a 50mm air gap then a second skin attached (not done yet, will wait till after new roof) We can then do a render or batten again horizontally and clad in timber - so many layers!


New walls clad and battened

After their 3 visits to have the most fleeting of glances each time, building control are now happy with our layout and connect up of soil pipes. So we're no longer weeing in buckets but back on the throne (still need a bucket of water to flush though - baby steps) The mark II layout did require some more jack hammering, in fact another half days, But it is done now and materials on site for concreting it all back over - all i need now is a concrete mixer!
