A few frame measurement issues





It always pays to double check any measurements. We marked out the frame dimensions on the brewery slab; 100mm in from the edge just like the extension after we corrected for the larger slab. MB Pre-fab built the frame to the size we marked out. Except that the brewery slab was poured to the correct size, so should have been marked to 50mm. Now the frame will only half sit on the Clinkablocks. To top it off, the frames for the extension were changed from the drawing to sit on the slab rather than the blocks, and due to a miscommunication, the brewery frames were extended as well.

Solution: I had to cut the frames down by 250mm and Nick decided to glue "soldiers" around on the inside to support the frame. So the wall's will now be 50mm thicker, but the problem is solved.
