Giles and Paula Add a Room Onto the Side of The House

Reuben.  First "significant" balls-up.  I'm chilled.  Les, of the spider bite and dads death, is away for 2 weeks from Thurs next week.  New glazed modules will be ready on Tues PM, I have to drive 40 miles to pick them up, but then Les can install them before he goes away.  All is good in the Gozza-hood…..

That’s a relatively quick turnaround. Good news.

[Giles]

@Madame Buttonfly and I got the disc cutter and the sledgehammer out yesterday, made a larger hole in the garden wall….There's an arch and a gate going on there.....

[Giles]

Brain exploding…...Working out stairs....

Have you tried using an online calculator? They pretty good as long as you aren't doing anything particularly complex.

[Matty123]

All this construction talk is gonna make Reuben explode…. heh

[neph93]

Reuben is snowed under with so much essay  grading that his brain is melting out of ears anyway. An explosion would be welcome at this point…

@neph93:

Yes, but there are some constraints that I make sure I cater for.  Obviously, total drop is important, but I  also need to build a stud wall at exactly the right place to meet the bottom riser.  I know it's not rocket science, but I want to be 100% certain before we start cutting….

EDIT - Found another that is perfect for what I need - thanks

[Giles]

Scaffold down.  Need to give the bricks a good old fashioned jet wash now.

And Les and I are now dry-lining….

[neph93]

@Giles:

I know it's not rocket science…

Given my maths skills it might as well be.

EDIT: and that brick work is sublime.

[Giles]

Thank you Reuben.  I love it too…..

[Giles]

Stairs sorted…... Thank @neph93

[neph93]

Excellent! Glad to be of service. Any chance of a closer look at the roof masonry visible on top of the brick facade in the first pic? Looks tasty.

[Chris]

Progress is coming along nicely.

[ROman]

I think it looks GREAT….

[RoxRocks86]

Definitely enjoy seeing the progress

[Giles]

@neph93 The coping stones?

@Giles:

@neph93 The coping stones?

Indeed, the coping stones. My befuddled, timber orientated, bilingual head wouldn’t find the correct name yesterday evening.

[Giles]

The lantern is one of the things I have been excited about ever since we had the idea.  Love it….
