24. Garage progress...

The side of the house has been left in a bit of a mess from previous alterations.

The offending brickwork is removed and the original brickwork prepared for repointing.

Reclaimed bricks from elsewhere on the job are used to close the doorways.

A redundant window is removed...

...and the remaining brickwork and repointing completed. Just as though the openings never existed.

Hardcore for the floors is levelled and compacted...

...the damp proof membrane laid...

...and the concrete garage floor installed.

Dpm and insulation installed for the new utility room...


...and finally the concrete floor installed.

Unfortunately, funds are now running low so I'm back to my day job and the house project is moved onto the backburner. Not as much progress as I would have liked this summer - let's hope I can earn enough cash over the winter to bring in some hired help!
