Though the garage is not yet finished the builders have now started on the house extension at one of Steve's places at Baj.Here are some pics of the progress to date.



House on the left, garage on the right and that window in the house will become a door. First one has to prepare the area 


First let's lay a plan of the extension in timber on the ground and if we're happy we continue

 

 

 

 


We continue and the lowest part is a basement area so it's a fairly deep hole needed.

 

 

 


From the existing house the extension comes this way towards the new shed/garage


 

Prepared for foundations


Foundations done


Preparing for the floor

 

 

 


In comes the concrete pump and the floor is underway

 


Laying the floor of the extension

 


Floor of basement completed


The walls are commenced

 

 

 


Up five layers and the bricks are filled with concrete and trinforcing rods


Then the walls are continued until the floor of the next level is reached


Fill all the blocks with concrete again and it's reaty to have the gound level floor added at the same level as the existing house.
