We commenced preparation for adding the Conservatory and Car-Port. We have taken on a nice chap called Philippe who has come and helped Robert prepare for the blocks to be built for the conservatory and to layout the shuttering for the car-port. The weather was terribly wet in May and early June, resulting in Robert having to work under stress to get each little phase done during the days that were forecast to be dry.
Carport underway – and just waiting for the digger to level before pouring cement
the other side of the house, Robert is underway with the conservatory. Blockwork completed, he can now get on with the rest of the body of the building.
Always on the go from early morning – don’t know how he does it!
Three panels of the roof fixed on and as we suspected, the guy at the store had given us the wrong screws. Robert’s expert eye on examination of the assembled sheets, proved that they were not fitting as he thought they should. Back to LeRoy Merlin the next morning and were given the correct screws and fixes.
Brian came and assisted with fitting the first three windows. Plastic covering the rest of the frame until the next delivery of windows.
Preparing the frame for the arrival of the next windows.
Looks nice from where I am standing.
Fitting like a glove
We received a message from Leroy Merlin that the windows were in. Robert hops in the car in the morning , is back by 10 am and windows are in by lunchtime!
Fitting in to the hair of a mm
The tiles leaning against the bottom were to catch the rain before the gutter was fixed on. Otherwise, it would pour down off the roof and lie at the foot of the wall.
The door is in. Awaiting the arrival of the last two windows.
So excited to see the sun-room/conservatory coming to completion – fantastic Robert!
Looks great – professional job – lots of potential for use and more plants.
We are excited too to have this nice room ‘in the garden’ looking forward to the benefit in the winter. Watch for the photos of completed version 😃
