This is a large trailer that holds about as much timber as a good sized skip. So far Simon and his team have taken away about 10 trailers of timber (not counting the timber George removed to fix his "Gin and Tonic bench") and reckon there are about 5 more to go. It has all gone off to be recycled. Feels like a lot of timber for such a cranky old house.
Meanwhile a tuck load of huge 9 metre (almost 30ft) lengths of framing I-Joists from Steico in Poland have arrived at Jonathan's workshop in Ashprington. His team starts to chop them all up into the bits that will make our house as of Monday. Last I heard he had just bought a very big radial arm saw.
To give an idea these i-joists are put together something like this:
The drawing below show the level of detailed design done by Jonathan from PassivHaus Homes for a single side of the new house. These are all the bits that will get cut out in the workshop and then assembled on site once Simon's team has completed the foundations and slab.
