Stair Trimmed

The stair trimming has been formed. You can now get a real feel for the space up stairs. Well, I can, you maybe can't

WINDOWS!

all the windows came yesterday, and went straight in. also the front door.

very please :D

Some more internal trimming has been done, around the stair and around the two large velux windows which are installed.
We also met the sparkie and discussed lights, sockets, bt positions etc etc. He is off on holiday in a couple of weeks, but says he will have it roughed by then.

yay!

Top Hats

These are the top hat beams which help to hold the roof together, especially over the velux window to the second first floor bedroom. I guess they are there to connect the double truss at the vaulted ceiling over the trimming for the velux, to the racking triple truss.....or something. They are big pieces of wood, with triangular bits at the top, to fit in at the top of the truss. Top hats, how posh!

Stair well

The trimming of timber members for the stairwell has begun (it's where the ladder is in the picture). As odd as it may seem, the big hole which has been formed will be made smaller. It makes sense to me, but then, I've seen the kit erection drawings.

First floor, first steps, didn't fall....

So the first floor has been partly floored. The engineers required that this is done as soon as possible, and certainly before the velux windows are cut out. The pictures don't do it justice, but it's actually bigger than I thought it would be.

Breatheaeaeaeaable Membrane

The sarking is complete, and the breathabeaeaaeaeable membrane has been laid and fixed. The slates will be nailed directly on top of this in due course. Green and orange. No sectarianism at ma' hoose!
