Unfortunately, my working life often means that I am away from home and these past two weeks have seen me away from home almost exclusively! It is therefore very difficult to provide a progress report when I have no idea what is happening.
As I write this, I'm sat on a train heading to London Euston station after having spent a couple of days in Birmingham - you can see how it would be tricky for me to take photos of a house being build many hundreds of miles away.
However, the rafters are on and progress is good. As I understand it, the bedrooms upstairs won't have ceilings in the traditional way - they will be exposed right to the apex of the roof (or as near as we can get). This should give the rooms an even more spacious feel. Interestingly, though, the drawings might actually cause some confusion by showing "something" resting on the supporting beams but my belief is that these lines are "arrows" pointing at the underside of the roof. It's easy to see how mistakes could be made and that drawings can be interpreted incorrectly. I had to stare at it a couple of times!
I keep getting asked when the house will be water-tight. Unfortunately, I still don't know. I'm hoping it will be soon. I'm sure it will be soon.
