A roof over our heads

Good things come to those who wait - so here we are with a new roof.  The weather cleared, the guys turned up (including another ex-student, now roofing apprentice) and the roof went on.  Not much more to say about that really, except like the colour, like the angles, like how it looks, like your work fellas...
"Just make sure you pack up all your stuff when you're finished guys... "

Fascia goes on, guttering goes on, silver insulating paper rolled out, Colourbond corrugated steel on top of that - suddenly the house has a 'top' on it!


Inside the kids' playroom - a much more defined space with a solid structure overhead.
 
Level 3 roof almost complete from the south - looking at row of kids' bedrooms and their bathroom.

As the roof went on we also started 'wrapping up' - basically enclosing the whole house in a layer of insulative AirCell, which is like high-tech (and expensive) bubble-wrap... So now we can send our house to anywhere in the world for standard postage rates.

  1. That makes it look like a "real" house:-) I'm looking forward to seeing the finished house.
