I haven't posted in quiet a while but none the less work is still on going.
Finally got the roof timber on and felt on the roof. We got the chimneys capped and the dormers ready for plaster. Decided to go for Cupa 3 heavy natural slates (20x10) which hopefully will start tomorrow. With 5 dormers, 3 veluxs, 1 roof window, 2 chimneys and 2 main valleys it will take some time to get it covered.
Windows
We decided to go with Gradys windows from Charlestown. Went for treble glazing in light oak and having a composite front door. Windows are getting fitted next week so that will keep things a bit dryer. Was extremely happy with their price and the spec (0.8 U-Value) of their windows. Hopefully i'll be as happy when they are in place.
Need to concentrate on the plumping and electrical first fixing now as we can get started on the chasing of the house. Plan to get an Aerothermal heat pump to heat our underfloor heating, so need to know the layout of the utility room for the chasing.
I will look into getting the concrete stairs in place in the coming weeks aswell.
I plan to take some photos at the weekend.
