The roof

August 13, 2008

IMG_2527.JPGToday I finished the first part of boarding the roof. I started yesterday and finished today at about 3pm. Never thought that banging in nails would give such a muscle ache… I was able to do the job without scaffolding although Simon was so good to give me 3 more bays of his. I’ll need those once the tiles go up.

Tomorrow: finish the gables (yuk, I’m fed up with mixing mortar…), attach metal strips from gables to rafters to increase structural integrity and start with the second part of the sarking boards.

Beyond that: roof felt, facia’s and soffits, outside rendering, painting, door, electricity, inside finish

Weather: totally summer (I got another sun burn), blue skies, sunshine, lovely cool sea breeze (no midges, hurray!!!)
