Living on the construction site is going to get old if you have enthusiastic tradespeople starting early 6-7 days per week, unless you're one of these people who's always up at 7am on weekends.

sheepers Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 i leave for work at about 5.30- 5.40 so they aint gonna bother me weekdays. and tbh im usually awake by 7.30 on the weekends anyway so i think we'll be right. the wife leave early too so no drama there. its taken so long to get to the actual construction phase of this that i would love to be woken by builders turning up on site on a saturday or sunday. it would be music to my ears. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepers Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 cheers Russell, if that is your real name. im pretty keen to see it finished too. the floor joists in the bathroom are to far apart for the tiles substrate that were using do we need to add extra joists. in order to do that i had to remove the floor. like so, 2017-05-20_03-37-05 by sheepers, on Flickr there is also much to do to the existing footing wall to joint it to the new slab and so access needed around th edges. like so, 2017-05-20_03-36-55 by sheepers, on Flickr 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepers Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 rollies are all the ppe you need mayte. there are penalties if they aren't finished by the 24th of December but given how good they're going now i reckon they'll piss it in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
