So, I've shown images of the garages disappearing and new groundworks being laid, here are the images of the new walls and roof going up!
First the new floor slab is laid and levelled:
Then the blockwork for the section of the wall that will be rendered is built:
Then the windows were laid out, and the exterior bricks and interior blocks were laid up to that level:
There were regular deliveries of building materials:

Then when we were up to plate height the roof trusses were delivered, and hoisted into place by a crane:

The trusses were attached in the right places:

Then the peaks were added, and they started to add the white waterproof layer that goes below the tiles:

Then the roof started to take shape! They walked around fearlessly on those boards!

The velux roof lights were set into place, and suddely it felt like an enclosed room inside:

The downstairs room was fully enclosed with gaps where the windows would go:

The gable end was built up, so there was a wall all the way to the top:

The downstairs windows were fitted. Suddenly we could see how the south face of the house would look:

And from the close you could see the size and shape of the extended house.

Now the front of the extension section needs to be rendered, the upstairs windows need fitting, and there are 12 half tiles needed to complete the roof around the velux windows.
