RE: The build - Small chilli - 31-08-2021
A bit more done. You can actually see something has been happening
.Finished building the soleplate & baseplate. Added 2 layers of DPC membrane. Shimmed it all up to the correct height (hopefully).

We don’t have a bad view from the office and the YTS is coming on nicely

Seeing the floor plan (most of it) laid out really brings the house to life.

. The sizes are really deceiving. I keep looking at the living room wondering how I’m going to fit all the furniture in. It’s pretty much the same size as the one we’re in with the added advantage of not having a staircase in it. It just looks so small when you’re stood in it 
. I’ve also noticed we’re using the doorway a lot of the time instead of just stepping over the block work .

. We won’t really know if we’ve got it 100% until we put the last wall panel up. Our tolerance margins are not large! 5mm on the diagonal & only 1mm difference all the way round on the height of the soleplate! The main reason for taking 2 days to put 2 bits of wood & 2 pieces of DPC membrane together

Another busy day with very little to show for it. Apart from some lovely DPC fitted around the kitchen sink outlet

That is possibly contributing to the problem
