Since Christmas, there has been a lot of detailed work in completing the gable ends in preparation for the roof going on. It has felt like nothing major has happened for weeks - but it has, it's just detail takes a long time to complete.
So we have dormer window frames in place ...

Angled gable ends against the corner roof slats....
Velux windows frames are now all in place.....
Fascia's in grey starting to go on....
Bases for the internal stud walls are now in place. It will be exciting to see the wall frames being built this week.
Roof lining and battons almost all in place ready for the tiles....
All this work on the house means that we need to finish the cottage in preparation for sale. Two things remain to be done on the cottage, the front garden and the drive. We can't do the front wall or the drive until the service trenches have been installed - and for that, we need to wait for Mum and Dad's scaffolding to come down. We have however put a new front path in place using the original bricks from the chicken coop. It took one weekend of Dave's time to save the bricks, but when you look at the results you can see it was worth it. We hope you agree.
