Now the ground floor structure has been completed, this week the first floor can begin to be assembled.

External walls and the left gabled end are the first to go up along with the position of the dormer window.

With the help of a crane the larger components are lifted into place

The top gable apex panels are positioned in place

The first glulam ridge beam is lowered into place. This provides the structural support to enable us to have vaulted ceilings in the two first floor rooms at the front of the house.

Second glulam ridge beam is lowered on the right hand side gable.

Standard attic roof trusses are positioned at the rear of the house. These rooms will have a standard ceiling height.

At the end of week 2 the roof structure is really starting to take shape. By the end of next week the roof will be weather tight.
