Yay the tiles are on - we have a roof

Things are progressing at last.

We have a roof on the house, the roof has been boarded and tiled and the velux windows have gone in.

The solar panels should be going up on the roof next Tuesday all being well.

The scaffolding is due to come down next Thursday and then the spray rendering can be applied to the top half of the house.

Today we had a site meeting with the electricians about the first fix. They should be on site next Wednesday to mark the walls and ceilings for sockets and lights.

The stud work walls are taking shape upstairs marking out the bedrooms and bathrooms.

The site hut at the front is due for removal next Friday to clear the front garden so that the foundations can go in for the walls.

So all in all a good day.

The roof is taking shape


Steady progress is being made with the roof, the joists are all up bar the overhang at the front and back and the 3/4 plywood sheets are being nailed on, with spaces being left for the velux windows.
The steps down from the lounge have had their footings dug and a row of breeze block have been cemented into place.
What with exchanging contracts on our house today things are looking good.
