Roof

The rear roof has been built now - you can see the outlines of the 3 Velux windows across the roof. Next step is the felt and batten (I believe), then the felt is cut to insert the Velux flashings, then the tiles, then the windows themselves


This is the new rear porch. Rob is having some fun building the pillars either side of the door as they are quite small. We may consider using a conservatory corner - with uPVC panels instead of bricks/blocks - we need to check if we can do it.


Geoff is back from holiday on Thursday. Time to talk about the time to get the main roof up and the windows in - then we get the valuer back and try and get some more money out of the bank. Also time to see if it's time to get the new boiler and tank installed. The new boiler is gas and nPower want £350 to do their bit of the gas supply, we'll need to excavate and run the rest of the pipe to the house and install the box, and nPower will fit the meter. Hopefully we can plumb the new boiler/tank into the existing rads and hot water supply then we can see about getting the old boiler and the oil tank removed.
