Well we're nearly there with the roof.... doesn't it look magnificent?? I'm soooo happy with the colour - i'm very glad we decided to go with the monument on the roof and the woodland grey fascias and window surrounds (and garage door - mmm not sure how that will look but ce la vie!). Anyhoo the roof colour is great. It's hard to tell from a photo as it actually looks more steel grey - it is in fact the same colour as the guttering. It's just the reflection of the light that makes it looks lighter. Come and see it in real life and you'll see just what I mean!!!Nearly finished, hopefully only one more day for the roof on site and then it will be done. Tell you what, you really notice the difference being inside now - hardly any rain! And of course it was raining in Romsey today. And for the most part we were nice and dry. Not as windy either, although that could just be my imagination :).
Those silver rolls of insulation are called 'roof blanket' and they go right up against the roof. I think it's also called sarking. Anyway, that is to make sure the roof is well insulated and doesn't collect too much heat (or cold, for that matter) in the roof space.
Jobs for today: Installing the fixed windows above the rumpus room windows (see earlier post) and the same window above the front door. We've had to put down some plastic over the door entrance sills, it is so damn muddy in Romsey (and believe me that red mud just does not come out) to stop muddy feet from wrecking the beautiful timber. We also played cleaners today, going around and picking up all the left over rubbish from site. It looks much nicer, although our 'bin' is now overflowing.
Had to leave early as Pink is not well today - think she has the flu her brother had earlier in the week (not swine) - high temp and a cough. Off home for some movies, drugs, and a rest on the couch, that'll fix her right up.
