The
internal wall between the car spaces and the storage area was built in
December 2006. I used the remaining 20cm Siporex and 20cm Breeze blocks
from the house, to build it.
The
walls which are made using prepainted tongue-and-groove 20mm panels, have
been added to the structure. The green material is wind boards to add
wind resistance to the main structure.
The
interior is starting to take shape. It will basically be a single room
for storage and/or games room. The boards are strong tongue-and-groove
attic boards. A staircase made of wood and metal steps, will be at the
end on the right.
The
easiest way to add a roof was to use tile-shaped tin roof panels which
were about 4.5m long by 1.5 m wide. The garage required 9 on each side
and it was good exercise!
The
wind boards are nearly all done. The roof tin supports have all been done
and ready for the tin.
Ready
for the cement. Added the wire netting and separators and a small drain.
All cement in place. A nice
sqare plate ready for constructing the wooden garage!
The wooden support
for the concrete was added and gravel placed inside for support. This
was compacted and less placed around the edges so the cement would be
thicker.
2nd layer of gravel
compacted and the polystyrene layer was added to the top. Steel netting
was then added before the concrete was laid.
More gravel which
has to be compacted. The hidden ditches and rainwater gutter drains were
also added.
Me in the toy, adding
ground moving driveway gravel and garage gravel. The sheet stops grass
and weeds growing and stops the smaller driveway gravel from disappearing
!
That's me compacting
the gravel ready for the next layer before the polystyrene and cement.
