Now - I'm pretty useless when it comes to building - so I'm relying on TC my builder. He is taking care of the build up to roof level . I then have to organise plastering, plumbing, electrics, doors, windoes, kitchen ,painting, tiling, flooring. Having never done any of these myself and not knowing much about any of them I am hopingto learn fast. I don't plan on doing any of the work myself - being a "stay at home dad" means I have a 2 year old to look after all day. I don't think it would be wise/safe etc to have him around a building site! Anyway - I would probably mess it all up. No I'll leave the work to the experts -
Todays lesson was a crash course in steel reinforcement for the raft foundation.
Me and TC - the builder made a trip to a supplier about 10 miles away - We were promised the steel would be ready by Saturday - and pay on delivery. So not a bad hours work really.
Also spoke to a supplier of stone to go under the foundation - they are cheaper then the concrete supplier - and better type of stone (limestone) too. They are ready to deliver as soon as they get the call (but not next Monday - it's a bank holiday here in Ireland) .
We need a roller now to roll this stone as it is delivered . That's a job I must do now as well as sorting out the transfer of the site (legally) to me.
More later or tomorrow...
