'Walking the plank' Claire checking on progress on a renovation in Jukskei Park, Randburg, an exceptionally cold and rainy day - November 2014
Double Checking measurements prior to ordering floor slabs....
Floor slab cast - so far the builder is doing a very neat job.
House Atkinson - Roof being installed for a Covered Patio - August/September 2014
Randburg House
Concrete foundations being poured... fortunately the soil conditions were good so a basic trench foundation with no extra steel was OK for the lightweight Covered Patio. House Atkinson
Lintols propped with a gum pole, a conventional steel prop - 2 across this span would be better, however the gum pole did the job!
Site meeting with the Client, the Builder and a consultant before work on site commenced. - House Atkinson
My Roof and Building Inspector - John giving the builder instructions prior to the start of the main build...
Laying the floor slab, note the conduit installed for the LED lights in the floor.
Foundations - Brickwork
Plastering started, and the roof is on, note the uneven spacing of the rafters... This is due to lack of supervision on site, however the structure is not unsafe and the rafters will be hidden by fascia board and a gutter.
