Roof

The roof structure is very nearly complete.

Two dormer windows need to be fitted into the front and side elevations and them the battens & felt can be fixed













Work has now finished for the Christmas break but, hopefully it'll be weathertight early in the New Year.

Roof Structure



The roof is now starting to take shape.

The majarity of the roof structure is being made on site with only one small area using trusses.



The blockwork on the end elevations is progressing well and as can be seen, pads to support the steelwork are in place.

The steel should be lifted in to place early next week and from there, the roof timbers will be fitted fairly quickly



we're hoping that the roof is felted & battened by 19th December when the builders start their two week Christmas break. The windows are on site and are being painted prior to fitting and glazing.
If all goes to plan, the house should be weathertight by the start of the new year.
