Building Dreams

Part 4

Posted by Potton on 26th November 2009

Wow! The whole timber frame has been finished now and we have a real sense of how the house is going to look. This week the guys were carrying on with the details and we had the roofer in to make the roof watertight. He put the protective, breathable membrane of the roof which lets air out but doesn’t let water in. We also had a bricklayer in to build the plinths under the windows. Everything’s coming along really well and we’re well on schedule.

Next week, they’ll be working on the chimney and inglenook. The roof should be tiled and the fireplace finished as well.
