Do you remember that beam? The stupidly large and heavy one? ~ 8 metres long and ~ 4.5 tonnes? This one:
8 metres and 4.5 tonnes…
Well it’s in place – a fair amount of cursing and fun and games involved, but its up holding the second gable and the vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom up…
-
- Both gables taking shape
-
- Small children kept away from its installation
Of course – the roof wasn’t the only thing to suffer due to the holes cut into it to make way for that beam. The back bedroom has ceased to be a useful room so that the other end can be supported.
-
- Big hole in the ceiling
-
- Not really a bedroom anymore
And we had a cheeky unwrap of the roof lantern – that is on the flat roof to keep it out of the way, just not installed in its final place yet.
And finally – the front gable is tiled and the front elevation of the house is taking shape – it is starting to look like a house – just doors and windows to add…
The front is taking shape
