Roof Finished


We have a roof and it looks amazing. Happy days...

The Finished Product 

The weekend just passed saw the mad rush to be ready for this momentous occasion.  Painting was the primary activity as well as some final remedial actions to veranda  to correct some minor lumps and bumps due to the uneven nature of timber.

Painting was greatly helped by the purchase of a couple of cheap airless electric spray guns but was still a mammoth undertaking.

Painting Progress

Monday saw the gutter installer on site early.  Excitement started to build

Bright and early Tuesday morning the roof sheeters were on-site.  On a stinking hot 39 degree day they worked like Trojans to make a start and sheet a large part of the roof.

Late Tuesday Afternoon Progress

Wednesday afternoon's visit found the roof finished.  The temperature differential from inside the house under the roof line was really quite amazing.  We should be much more comfortable cladding the rest of the house.
