Prep, prep and some more prep …

There’s not a lot of visual progress at the moment. Lots of working out how things go together and considering the challenges of working with everything connecting to the existing house.  The planning seems to be taking just as much time as the building. And then there’s the other half of life which is as busy as always.  Looking forward to seeing some physical progress.

We’re using a ‘flying roof’ over the rear verandah and the first step is connecting the ‘Extendaroof’ brackets to the existing rafters. Fiddly work and had to drill holes in the sparkling new roof to get the brackets up!!!

The new verandah roof has arrived and is sitting on the road side. We’re using a product that sandwiches foam insulation between Colorbond roof sheets and a white gloss ceiling panel. Lots of metalwork ahead which might be a steep learning curve. Still this way turned out to be a lower cost than building a timber framed roof with insulation and ply ceiling. Interesting to see how much time assembly will take.

Lucky to have a second set of hands at a critical moment… there is no easy way to lift a 7.2 m length of fascia on your own and then nail it… thanks Dan.

Looks like the good weather is going to continue so no excuse for not getting the verandah up next!
