Roof continues

6th July 2011

There's a little more to come.. 

The Roof!! The roof, the roof is not finished!!!

First of all.. do NOT attempt to build a house in Winter, then do not build a wooden framed roof in the middle of winter. Why??

Well isn't it obvious.. If you are trying to get your roof built and finished, Perth is guaranteed to receive the highest rainfall on record..

As you can tell I am a little frustrated.. Our roof was supposed to take 3 weeks max!! We are now into week 6..

It starts..

Just a little update - the timber for our roof has been delivered, smack bang in our driveway, but at least it's all ready to go.
