Self Build Diary - Day 101 - Upstairs

Well its been a week and its been a busy one!

Things have pushed on on site and we now have the beginnings of an upstairs!

Last Friday i got into training, i helped out on site moving blocks upstairs with the builders and labourers, my body hurt in places that i didnt know existed before! however it will soon be time for me to get my hands dirty on most weekends, so ill have to get used to it!

Otherwise this week Ive been busy pricing up things like floorboards, stud walling, plaster board and other first fix work, if nothing else i have planned well as i stare at 2 weekends before it all gets going for my bit.


As you can see the 1st floor is taking shape and the joists are becoming fixed, preparing for me to attack them with a nail gun and a great deal of good hope!

Looking at the schedule everything seems on track, maybe a couple of days behind but nothing that cant be recovered. as the next few weeks kick in there will be other activity from other contractors and of course my work too, that's when we start to get more possibility of time issues, but fingers crossed that the planning and preparation we have done with the other contractors pays off!

Time for bed!
