It was a slow'ish week overall with most of the activity happening on internet tile sites ..
But things picked up on Friday with the guys finishing off the prep work on the outside. This involved them first putting a breathable membrane over the ply and then nailing on a mesh to hold the cement render.
Q: What's louder than a building hammering in nails
A: 4 builders hamming in nails
Yup, the mesh part involved a quartet of builders hammering away in symphony. We're definitely not getting nominated for this year's Neighbour of the Year Award. And yes.. there actually is an award for this -> see here
As you can see, there is a whole lot of nails and staples holding the mesh in place. Guess that is a good thing as it's going to be covered with a cement render which I can imagine will have a bit of weight to it.
With the exterior all framed up, we can get a great idea of what the structure will look like from the outside now.
Next week will be fairly busy with the brick gable wall finally getting built and possibly even the rendering. After a week below zero, we're expecting weather to hit the low to mid teens next week... Finally.
