Roof

 
New stone eventually arrived so building has continued.  The gable end is nearly complete.  Debbie is stood in the orangery / dining area with our builder Chris trying to sort out the details of the orangery glazing.  Lots of other things are getting arranged now including the solar electric, air source heat pump, electrics and insulation.

One week into May and two months into the build, the roof is being built.

A steel beam spans between the two gable ends of the extension and a ridge board sits just above this and carries on to meet the ridge of the existing cottage.
Meanwhile, the underfloor heating is starting to go in beneath the first floor of the existing cottage.  I have been in to remove all of the old ceiling joists from the first floor as we have decided to raise the ceiling level.
