London Extension Video Diary: Week 29 - Bit of plumbing, lots of rocks
Our London Build: Week 29 - Bags of rocks. All the rocks arrived for the central courtyard this week. That's going to be a Japanese style garden with lots of rocks, gravel, ferns etc. Hopefully it will look cool. Plus the spotlights for the ceiling arrived. Building-wise, not a huge amount of changes. They have been busy sanding and plumbing and doing what they can to the interiors without windows being installed. Read more at ourlondonbuild.com.

After two weeks away, we are back on site and floored by the progress (do you see what I did there?) We have a lovely new floor, complete with underfloor heating. Plus the new boiler and manifold. Together with that, there is the first fix of the bathroom and the completion of the zinc cladding to check out.

This week the weather has been good (although today's video was shot in the pouring rain...) so the team have been hard at work cladding and rendering the outside of the extension. There's also the addition of a shed in the back and (very excitingly) the joists for the bathroom walls have been put in. Read more at ourlondonbuild.com/

Our London Build: Week 14 - Scarborough-henge
Просмотров 573 месяца назад
This week three giant steel arches rose up to tower over the building site, which I've been calling 'Scarborough-henge'. Sadly, they aren't just a decorative feature. They are in fact the structural support for the three large glass windows we are having in the build. We also saw the external walls taking shape, including the front wall - the most visible part of our build from the street. Read...

Building an Extension in London: Week 1
All looking good mate. Little tip from a tiler, stand those tiles up against a wall, stacking them like that can cause the bottom packs to fracture and break, and those size tiles ain't cheap. Been there and done that and learnt from it. Look forwards to more videos of the tiling going down. All the best.
Nice Video🥰🥰🥰
Great Job 🥰🥰🥰
Where do you think the dirt ends up?? 🤔
How exciting that the project is launched. Hope that the dust of the building site doesn't penetrate your house. We will be eagerly following progress.
