Day 113 - Roofing
The garage roof is taking a lot longer to construct than expected due to its complexity with slopes in 3 directions, a gable and a dormer. Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 Photo 5 Photo 6 Photo 6 shows the wall where an opening will be made for a door from the master bedroom. Previous Next

Day 111 - Roofing
Carpenters were on site to build the garage roof today. Unfortunately, the architects drawings were not much help in guiding how the roof should be constructed and without any measurements, the carpenters were left to calculate everything. The photos below are all they had to go off. Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 Photo 5 Previous Next

Day 109 - Brickwork
Due to the slope of the garage roof, one of the bathroom windows needs to blocked so today was spent removing the window. These old sash windows were very well constructed and it took quite some time to remove them. Photo 1 Photo 1 shows the bathroom window that needs to be blocked. Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 Photo 4 shows a window in the garage that also required to be blocked up. The intention is that this corner will accommodate the boiler and hot water tank.
