The first phase of the ramp construction is underway. The basic structure has been created and the cement boards will soon be covered by the big rocks |
 |
The ramp from the other side. Once the big rocks are placed the topcoat will be added on and packed down |
 |
| The final electrical step was to put the outlets into the floor. |
 |
| The underfloor heating matts in the first section of the office have been installed. |
 |
| The shelter for doing brickwork in the rain has been covered. |
 |
| View up the stairs with completed Oak steps and the handrail in place. |
 |
| Up close view of the varnished oak veneer. |
 |
| Completed inside railing and laminate floor in the loft. |
 |
| The view from the loft out the big windows. |
 |
 |
| The top rail has been installed in a couple of places. |
 |
| It's very finicky work but looks good once it's complete. |
 |
| The glass has been in place for a while, it's a much stronger system once the top rail is on. |
 |
| Frodo sleeps by the Christmas presents underneath the Yukka plant. Presents and wrapping have been taking the place of renos lately!! |
 |
| Underlay went down first. |
 |
| Followed by rows and rows of laminate. |
 |
 |
| We got 2/3 of it done on Saturday. |
 |
| Looking out towards the view. |
 |
| Only one small area left to be completed against the gable wall. |
 |
| The stairs and posts have been varnished and look great. |
 |
| HK is hard at work on the bricks. |
 |
| His smile hides the snail like pace that we have settled into :) |
 |
| A close up of HK's handiwork, it looks excellent! |
 |
| We decided to work on a part of the house away from the original brickwork until we become more proficient at laying the bricks. It's a bit demoralizing working on large sections as it takes a long time to make any vertical progress. |
 |
| We can imagine it all covered up, but it will take a while to get there. |
