Roof on

Main bedroom on the right, with the lounge on the left.

Looking on to the dining/kitchen/courtyard area & bed3

The roof is on!  Regan has carried out his duties and held a roof shout while I was away (ably supported by Dan).  It seems that the roof shout does not involve standing and pointing at the roof while yelling "Roof!  Roof!".

So you can now get a proper idea of what it will look like!  A capping still has to go on each corner where the roof "folds" down onto the cladding.  For some obscure reason, it's called a Canterbury Prickle.  They're also busy putting the flashings on.


The bits of the walls that don't have roofing material on will be clad with a different material.  Exactly what is still the subject of debate...  You'd think we'd know by now.

The doors are all on site now, and apparently the door in our bedroom is on, as is the bathroom door and the dining room doors.  Hopefully the glass will arrive next week.

We're off to CHCH this week-end for a buying spree before the GST increase hits!  Nothing like a snap decision.
