Framing Day 36 - Roof finished!

Now that we have access again, it appears that the roof has been finished. The right number of screws, and of the right colour too! I had asked for some extra screws to be used, so that there is NO chance of the roof lifting off [with some of the microstorms in the last few years, this has actually happened!]. The roofing guys did agree to do it, but that was a few days before the right colour screws had been delivered, so I assume that they just forgot. Not something I can fix. It's in code, so I guess that it will have to do.

Framing Day 25 - Roof almost completed!

The roofing guys had finally managed to get the right coloured screws delivered to them and attached the roof in a more permanent fashion.

The correct colour.

The correct number of screws.

Framing Day 17 - The roof is on!

Well, partially.

By the end of Friday, the roof had been partially put on. One issue was that we have Ironstone guttering but a Surfmist roof and they had delivered Ironstone screws used to attach the roof. With other builders, the tradies would be able to go and purchase the correct screws, but not with PD. They were forced to wait quite a while. Eventually they had partially attached the roof with the Ironstone screws; the roof looked like a watermelon!

Interestingly enough, the weekend's weather was forecast to have storms and 90 km/h winds!  I wonder wonder if we'd have a roof at all come Monday!

We did. No damage to the roof (or any collateral damage to any nearby properties either).

For those interested, the roof area of our 44 sq is 254 sq m.

I could not justify the cost of the sarking.
