Balcony project - Week 7

A big push this week to get the final parts assembled and fitted. The collars round the pillar look very smart now hiding the RSJs pillars. Electrics went in along the handrails. 

Onto the last stage now just patio pointing and a bit of snagging, final clean up and jobs done on Monday.

Ta Dah .... Posh photos and final blog entry here.

Balcony project - Week 6

Making big leaps forward this week on. Deck of balcony was GRPed on top and white PVCclad below. 3.5 Tonnes of paving slabs moved from front to back and starting to be laid out.

Next is the finishing off flashing and Balustrade due in tomorrow.

Getting the stair feet sorted.

A couple of the steps went back to the factory for fettling.

Decking inset to steps.

Enough space to spread out the sails of a super yacht.

Top of deck gets final gelcoat.

Decking board on risers complete the floor. 

Adding a gravel/drain section for washing down bikes & dogs.

Balcony project - Week 5

Big progress this "week". The steels arrived and were put up in a day. Next day wooden joists went in and electrician started running the wires for the illuminations. Boarding and deck fibre glassing also done.

Next week the Stairs structure is due and the decking gets a gel coat followed by decking boards. The under balcony space will be having paving laid.

Going to rearrange the down pipes from the roof & gutters above the balcony so that we don't need a down pipe in the middle of the decking. The decking will drain down pipes attached to each of the pillars at the front and will be enclosed by a collar.
