I don't post every day, because not always enough happens in one day. Here are several days accumulated...
The roof was framed and we had ordered natural Spanish slate which will last a life time...or at least 100 years we are told. And what should we do after the 100 years, I ask?
And finally it is finished. The roofers will have to come back to fit a few vents in the roof at some point...for the kitchen extractor and the bathroom fan. The skylights have been put in too...they all open!
A close up of the character slate. The other option was
man made slate, which is very plain (and lasts 10 years).
From the inside it looks pretty good. The ends of the walls just have to built up to enclose it.
Our brickie fixed my window sill gaff. Above is the before picture.
And here is the finished cement sill. We love it better than if I had ordered the plastic sill with the window.
Now the wall is built up to the roof line.
And the other side.
The view from the far wall.
And to give you a before and after...Here is the before...
And here is the after. The only thing that will change on the outside is the guttering and a few vents.
Yay, we love it!
Next...the plumber and electrician are starting their work and then the whole thing will be plastered.

Looks fantastic!!
Michal,
It reminds me of Treetop Lane. One's eye is drawn outside to the greenery in the back. I'm looking forward to standing in that space with you and loving the space.
See you soon.
Mom
Can't wait to show you guys when you come!
