amendments to slab


just a few things to note:

1. the waffle slab should sit on the fill, see next post on slab, not below as dwan in my last post

2. there will be a step from the garage to main floor see image on left, this is to prevent dust and minimise air entering throuh garage. this will have the same rise as the stairs found within the building
ALSO...
the wall between the garage and living area
are we going to have a skin, as on the outer walls??? this wall in theory is the same as an outer wall so it should have some kind of skin to prevent air movement between the rooms
i think that we could use either use the same material as used on the externa walls or another lighter material, if the tubes used to inclose the garage are water proof we could have exposed tubes without a skin on the outer wall and the skin on the shared wall
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK
Rose this might be something that you look into

  1. Hey dani, we are having a skin on the outer walls, a poloycarbonate or something similar. I think have that particular wall exposed is fine we will just have to coat the tubes and also look into a sealant for waterproofing.
