Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 July 2014 representing Construction Days 27 and 28 present us with two days worth of clear weather. Clear but very cold.
Monday consisted of a number of lesser tasks in preparation of the KCDC inspection visit. The inspector was suitably satisfied with our conformity to all the requirements in the building specifications, and gave the green light for continuation.

Tuesday has seen the soffits being addressed and the wrapping of the external framework to be completed. Tekton Building Wrap is a synthetic breather-type building wrap for use as a wall wrap and air barrier under fixed wall cladding on timber and steel framed buildings. The product is a coated spun-bonded polypropylene, and is approximately 0.6mm thick. It allows trapped water vapour to escape from the woodwork where required, but prevents rainwater from re-soaking our structure.
