The story of my extension being built
Friday 26th October 2012 / 13:01
The sink’s been in the middle of the room for some months now and now the time’s come to work on the next section of the floor it’s going to have to move. I’ve put in the new plumbing ready for it so the old pipes which came down from the ceiling can now be dismantled.

The sink is in its new position and the plumbing has been re-arranged. This is pretty much where the sink will eventually be, but not exactly.

William and Neil have kindly selected some nice straight bits of timber from Totton Timber and brought it all round on the lorry.

This weekend I’ve been laying out the DPM and starting to put the timbers in place for the next part of the floor.

An evening session. Working across putting noggins in and getting the levels right.

Moving the bath to yet another position. This should mean the floor can be built within one metre of the wall.

Bath moved to a new position yet again in preparation for work on the last strip of the floor.

Just been to Totton Timber to pick up three more floor joists. This is how you fit 4.8 m into a short wheel base Land Rover.

The damp proof membrane now covers the last piece of the floor with a temporary hole for the toilet pipe.

The last joists and insulation are done.
