I’ve gotta roof

At last. The roofers returned this morning to finish off the roof by filling in the hole they’d left over bedroom 1 and adding the edge tile that was missing at the living room end where they’d run out of tiles the last time they were here. I was very pleased with the results and although the weather is fantastic at the moment and no rain is forecast within the foreseeable future, it’s nice to know that the house is fully waterproof. Here are some shots that I’ve lifted from some drone footage that I shot today.

I’m really pleased with the next shot. One of the main problems that I originally had was that the roofers had fitted the roof structure too far forward on the house’s walls and because of the way the builder had designed and cut the roof joists there was almost no roof overhang on the back of the building.

I’d designed the overhang to be the same all round and after the modifications the builder made a few days ago, the next shot shows that they’ve achieved that as near as dammit.

So the next stage is the interior. My guess is that the contractors who will be putting the walls and the interior partitions in place are busy working on another contract. If so, I hope they’ll be along shortly because it’ll be interesting to see how long it takes them to do my house’s interior. I’m guessing a week. Any bets anyone? 😉
