Roof trusses

The house is starting to show it's form now. The main roof trusses are on and from various angles you can see the new house appearing.

Last week the bricks were acid washed and sealed. Bricks are a porous material and the special sealant used gave them 7 years of maintenance free- aside from the usual hose down you'd give a house for dust etc.

This is the form work going up to support the roof trusses.

Abra Kadabra- the basics of a roof start to appear.

It's certainly looking big from the viewing point in the back yard.

Here's the roof appearing over the old shed.

The builders have been dodging the showers that have been continuously passing today.

In the name of self promotion I've put a sign on the back fence to catch the passing groups of golfers!

This week, whilst on sale, I've brought the new dining table and bench seat. The table is 3m x 1m. I've been eyeing it off for about 18mths. It's made from the 200 yr old timber of the Chinese villages that were pulled down for the Olympic stadiums.
