Vine Cottage | November 2014
Throughout November, work has continued with the construction of the garage and utility rooms whilst preparations to receive the main house timber frame have been completed.
The roof is now almost complete and the structure ready to be connected to the main house frame in early/mid December.
The trays for the solar PV panels have also been fitted to the garage roof. These are part of the whole house energy system which will create a completely free energy supply for electricity, heating and hot water.
Vine Cottage | Laying the Foundations
Work is now well and truly underway at our latest project in West Lavington.
With the original house demolished, the team have also cleared the site of overgrown borders and felled a number of trees so we can maximise the views from this fantastic position.
We have also adapted the driveway access from Highstanding Lane, so that there is a wider driveway with very shallow gradient.
All groundworks and drainage are now complete.
Our bricklayers are focussed on completing the garage in brick before the main timber frame arrives on site on 5th December.
