More Roof

Busy day today. Rob and Pete got the 2 RSJs up the scaffolding this morning and Geoff got to work with his hammer this afternoon. We now have a loft floor and most of the bones of the roof done.


The second RSJ isn't yet in position but that will get installed tomorrow I assume.

Unfortunately, it has also shown the state of the existing roof which is a bit rotten


A slater is arranged for next week so the guys will have to get the membrane and battens up before the weekend. Hopefully the replacement Velux will come tomorrow and the rear roof can be sorted. The main roof will get tiled first then the rear, then the glass can go in.

A big thank you for Howard from Carr Faulkner associates who slotted our work into his busy schedule pretty quickly - and his rates are very reasonable too!

Roof

Got the calculations back from Howard the structural engineer today. So we have 2 more RSJs on order and Geoff has begun cutting the wood for the spars..... The broken Velux frame has gone back so we should have a new frame on Wednesday, probably at the same time the RSJs arrive ready for the main roof to start going on....
