This morning the Cordial Factory Crew had a site meeting with Paul and Robyn from Lifehouse Design and Dugald and Ross from VRBS. The number 1 item on the agenda was floor levels. During the design phase a final floor height was not specified. We were wanting to determine that at the beginning of the build – match the new floor with the existing floor level if possible. Of course, the challenge was always going to be the link between the two buildings. There will now be a step up into the hall and the house from the link.
Dugald, Ross, Paul, Robyn and Clare ponder while Mitch works on the boards
Just how low will the link roof be?

Quicker than mixing by hand
In goes the cement, ease the stump in – done!
Posts all ready for the bearers
There was a discussion about drainage and a decision was made to install a sump and pump under the floor of the hall. This could prove invaluable in the event of significant flooding.
