I've written a letter to this extent that will be sent on Monday. I only really wrote a letter to help explain things, not because I was overly concerned. Her indoors has mentioned this to the brickie and he thinks that he has interpreted the drawing correctly. His argument is that the front wall needs to be below the vents (because you can see the vents in the drawing). These vents are drawn with dashed lines and there is another dimension that shows 300mm which I think counter his argument, however I think this should all be sorted.
This is what I think it will look like if we put steps off the front verandah if they build it the way I think it should go.
The vents in the wall are to high, you need to get them to drop the vents and add vents in the verandah wall so you ensure you get ventilation from under the verandah out, rather than back under the house and then out. The drawing clearly shows vents in the front verandah wall.
ReplyDeleteIf you concrete in the vents you will have a dead spot - not good!
From your construction adviser.
Oh bugger, you don't need any more hold ups. Can't believe he reckons he's got it right, this is where having 2 brickies on site would be better, they could compare notes. Have they given you an approximate completion time yet?
