Lab Build: Day 8 - 27/03/17

Another extremely successful day today. Over the weekend more bricks arrived as well as the beams and bracing for the roof. As usual we spent the day shoveling soil but with a difference, the end was in sight and we knew in a few hours the task will finally be complete.

Just before dark the last wheelbarrow was loaded and tipped into the skip. It took us over a week but the entirety of the soil dug up for the 1 meter deep footings had been moved by us and us alone into skips; 3 and a half to be exact.

After another KFC, we spent the rest of the evening moving the final pieces of scrap metal/wood and debris that I have had lying in my garden for a long time into the skip. Not only is all the hard boring work out of the way but the garden looks better then ever (minus the big patch of dying grass).

And as promised, here are some picture of the structure so far.

Now that our work is complete, there is not much for us to do until the builders finish meaning the blog posts and video logs will be uploaded and updated less frequently. Don't worry though, I'll be sure to upload any part of the construction process that is interesting as well as keep you all updated with any other progress made. Estimated time until completion is about 3 weeks, then the fun can commence.

Luckily we had a good few dry days to move the majority of the soil and let the builders lay the bricks, however as you may tell from the pictures the rain is setting in once again. For this reason, construction may be delayed until it warms up a bit.
