Now that the walls are complete the roof is underway.
The builders brought some well needed common sense to the build again with the garage. The surveyor had specified a door width and height that wasn't standard. Now this is OK if you have an unlimited budget... but we haven't! So first of all they built the door width up. Then they read up on the standard widths. Realising it was too big by 80mm for a standard door they made a decision... the following morning they took down that wall and rebuilt it 80 mm wider. Overall this will help us manage the costs though so it was worth it (I hope!)
I think the builders think the roof structure has been 'over specd' (again). They even said that the joist sizes would support a complete second storey floor.
The floor to ceiling height in the garage is just over 3 metres without the final floor screed - which feels very high.
This is a view looking from one corner of the roof towards the centre.
And this shows the height of the end wall - it makes it look very big.
Andy and Sam the roofers were quick to get the slates on one side of the roof - again they've done a great job.
The roofers have gone away for a few days now as they have come to a point where we need to get the porch built before they can carry on with the front roof.
