needles headtrees and demo
N.B. rimexboy :;):


pete the welder doing his thing


this one was a right pain,there was an insitu boot lintel 12 " by 9" 2.1M long over this window,it interfered with the UB position by 12 mm so we had to kango it out



no fun at all on a friday, also had to notch all the joists on to the steel
thank makita for recip saws!

cheers LLL

LLL N.B "ed you dont hang around do you... is the house empty or are they still trying to live in it... also what thickness plaster board should i use on my hall way from hell :p

[lutonlagerlout]

we stay on the same job every day from first sod of turf till the roof is tiled, 9mm on ceilings 12.5mm on studwalls, special one for kitchens foil back i think
LLL
ps client is still "living" at home, although existing might be a better phrase.
today was the worst day mess wise
its better to do the steelwork now than once the roof is on,really awkward when the rafters are in the way
starting second storey monday

Cheers LLL for that, yer my mrs aint too happy at the mo with the mess... opps...

so with a build that size how long are you looking at, it looks like a massive job..

[lutonlagerlout]

well we have been there 1 month and i reckon we will have the roofs on and tiled in another 3 weeks ,thats 7 weeks
then another 6 for the finishing
so its a 3 monther all told but i will only be there for 7 weeks
back at the end for the drive and retaining walls
the fella next door decided to "project manage" his own double extension
2 years so far and running,still no kitchen
I dont claim to be cheap but the job will get done as per drawing and on a tight a time frame as possible
we have lost jobs lately we could have had if we sent a couple of lads to start,but that generates bad publicity
1 guy wouldn't wait 6 weeks so now he has the guy who could start straight away
waiting for the call anytime soon

well like you say every job takes time and to be honest if the builder i wanted to do a job could start tomorrow i would be worried at how good they was....

so out in time for crimbo then... its amazing how quick the jobs can be done,

[lutonlagerlout]

sadly people still fall for the immediate start routine
the client does not believe me when i say that the roof getting tiled is only half way
problem is every day they can see progress with us
when the plumbers,sparks tilers ,floor layers etc get in not a massive change happens on a daily basis
dont get me started on plasterers
yet to meet a plasterer who hasnt got some kind of personal issues
LLL

[rab1]

personally always find tilers the worst.

[rimexboy]

well with what you are doing will give a massive change most days but like you say when the internal is being done it does seam to take forever...

ask my mrs pmsl..

[Stuarty]

My turn, done alot of soft landscaping recently, drives me mental though

First up, a bit of earthworks.



Then we done a big digout, and paving job, never took pics of the retaining wall or paving though. And yes, I couped the track barrow. Oops lol






Planted up and turfed a block of student accomodation flats.
