2019 - The year of the roof?
...Well, I'm a pretty optimistic person to be fair. But hopefully we'll have a garage roof this year at the very least. This is the first post I've done in almost a year, and loads has happened. Steve has built around the entire house all ceiling height now, all lintels are in above the windows and doors, and we've made some tweaks to the downstairs plans. (I've also designed each room to within an inch of its life in my head).
Rather than bore you with all the pictures from the last year, I'll share some of where we are now.
The garage joists are in for our bedroom up above it, and he's finally able to start building up the gable walls either side. We also have the steels for the garage roof, too.
There is a door from the playroom into the garage, and now the joists are in it all feels so big! I'm hoping he might get the garage roof done over the Easter holidays - he's got 2 weeks off, so it'd be perfect.
The gables are being built up now, and we have a nice little join between the new gable wall where it meets the old roof. So it's going to look a bit odd for a while until the new roof is on. But hey ho!
We've also now got lights in the garage which will help him on an evening when tidying up (they are waterproof - which is good as we still don't have a proper roof/cover over the garage.)
I've since started a new job. I'm now working full time which has taken some adjustment, but we are finally in the swing of it all now and I fully appreciate our weekends together now. Most of this time is spent trying to perfect the art of carrying a cup of tea up the scaffolding haha. The dog also enjoys spending time up there too!
