The Garage Project
Under the cut you'll find the building of our garage so far.
Just as a reminder (or as first time information) this is the reason for needing a new garage. Granted, this wasn't actually a garage, but it sits where we always wanted to put a garage.
Taken 12 November 2007
19 December 2007, after the junk has been cleared. Preparing the site for the new garage.
20 December 2007, the vague outline of the structure.
13 January 2008, the construction is stalled by a spot of rain.
7 February 2008, and it begins again, laying the form for the foundation.
14 February 2008, finishing the foundation forms.
20 February 2008, the foundation concrete has been poured.
22 February 2008, the forms are removed and the foundation stands alone.
3 March 2008, preparing the interior for pouring the slab which will be the garage floor.

6 March 2008 is a busy day

10:53 the step into the garage is mostly finished.
10:59am, More concrete flows toward it's destination.
11:00am, the destination.
11:08 partially smoothed.
12:14pm, all poured and smoothed.

13 March 2008, 9:57am, the beginning of a wall.
12:17pm, raising the completed wall.
12:31pm, Is this thing straight?
WooHoo, now it's starting to look like something!!

And oh, yes, you're definitely hooked now! Female Factor - possibly my favourite ep, for the sight of blue-chinned lads in tuxes with their bow ties all askew wandering, hands in pockets along the embankment! shaw012145 actually sent the lads to me with birthday greetings from that scene - if you look back at her LJ for 18 February you can see it! And I love Doyle kicking in the window. And Cowley furiously tearing a strip off Doyle for getting CI5 involved while the Police Inspector grins and then changing tack so smoothly and taking over the investigation when he realises that the number on the phonepad is the Prime Minister's private number - a much celebrated little scene in fandom there, almost as much for Bodie and Doyle's jaws dropping as the Inspector's, when Cowley does his complete volte face. Might have to watch that one again!

Our regular contractor is very accustomed at this point to me and the camera, and his helpers on that day had obviously been forewarned. (Rochester did NOT like the contractor's brother who was there for the first time that day). But, the driver of the cement truck kept smiling at me as if to say, "Okay, why is the mad woman taking all the photos?"
