Over the last week the Builders have been busy continuing to build the roof structure.
The main bedroom has taken shape.
and they have now built up the side walls to form the window opening.
The loose fill wood work has been created in the front of the roof to form the landing window opening.
We now need to decide on the size of the window and its exact position. Our original idea was to have a full height window leading up from the top of the front porch for 2400mm. However the builder has asked us to think if this size is too big. So I climbed up on the scaffold and onto the loosely covered first floor trusses. I had hoped Claire would do the same, but.... I forgot she has a fear of heights. To help her the builders have put a rail on the edge of the landing, in the same place the fully formed rail will be, and also added a handrail to the top of the ladder.
So now Claire can actually go upstairs for once!
The three dormers have now been fully formed on the back of the house.
and the 'ladders' over each gable end have been attached and the brickwork built up to match.
These ladders provide a great way for the girls to climb up to the apex of the roof (but don't tell Claire!)
And Finally this week we had a visit from Uncle Stu. Yet again Claire chose not to look as he took the girls on a chimpanzee training classes...
