First of all the deck, it is now possible to view the floor of the cantilever room and the outer deck. As well as this, the lower ground floor externals look more like they should do outside the kids bedroom with the floor above taking shape and the external ground becoming something that you can walk on easily.
In the previous blog the steel frame (galvanised) was installed but that was it...above you can see the block and beam for the floor of the cantilever room. The empty frame around it will be a deck outside and around the room. Accessible from a number of places, including the snug at the front of the house.
Above, another shot of the cantilever room and its block and beam floor built. This one was taken from inside the snug and gives an idea of the views from the snug.
Above, the timbers to support the deck are cut and secured. We want the deck levels to be the same as the internal flooring.
From the lower ground floor, life under the deck. My lovely model demonstrates the scale of the frame and the deck, the view above is along the side of the house where Ellie (who will be in Liverpool when we move in) and Caitlin have their bedrooms.
The view along the back of the house with deck taking shape above. To the left is Ellie's room, in the middle is the master bedroom.
Above the view from Ellie's room and Caitlin's room
Inside the ground level floor what has become apparent is how high the ceilings will be in the living rooms. Above you can see how high the ceiling will be in the front living room, this picture shows the doorway in the kitchen that leads to the hall where our lovely model again demonstrates the how high the ceiling will be in the kitchen over this wall.
Above, and finally what the house looks like from the road - above August 2014, below October 2008 (courtesy of Google street view).
