The consistant rain we have been experiencing for the last month will hopefully hold off for another week.
Due to the age of the existing dwelling and the inadequacies of the existing footings to support a second storey, we worked with Icon Structural Engineers to design an external steel portal frame system that leaves the existing building basically intact and provides the necessary wind bracing and support.
After installation of the steel portals, Sanctuary 28 removed the existing roof of the original home and then erected the upper floor, walls and roof structure over the existing house. It is planned to have the new roof in place, walls wrapped and the works basically watertight before the end of June.
