Well the end of May arrived and so did the wood for our roof and the rain!
For a couple of days the wood sat there getting drenched until the crane came in to lift the enormous metal griders/trusses...whatever they are called..into place.
Undeterred by the wet, the roof carpenters have worked through the showers.
The ceiling in the alfresco features a cofferred recess..the huge girders/trusses make up the frame for this.
As this is right at the back of the house, apparently it was touch and go if the crane would be able to reach this far.
Glad we weren't there to see that!
The outline of the roof is visible now and the verandah posts (temporary and crooked at this stage) are in.
After agonising for weeks over the fascia colour we are pleased with our selection- Loft.
The wet weather has been great for the gardens but has left big puddles inside, so we decided to try and sweep some of the water out so hopefully the pad can dry out a bit before the actual Colorbond goes on.
Expecting the roof to be finished by the 17th June.
