Water Tightness

I managed to pay a site visit mid-week for the first time in 5 weeks today and was half-expecting little change to have been made over the last week. I was pleasantly surprised.

The roof membrane has been applied and the battens are in place ready for the slates. The Velux windows are all in place too and the roofer was on-site doing his "roofing" business on the flat roof at the rear of the house. It seemed like too good an opportunity to let pass, so despite my lack of head of heights, I climbed the scaffolding to take a look at the flat roof:


So we shall be water-tight very soon which must mean we are in for some tough decision making in the next few weeks.

I wasn't alone during my visit either. I took Rachel with me, my nine-year old daughter. I took her to see her bedroom and asked her what she thought of it. "Not bad" she replied. I took her to see her younger sister's bedroom and asked her what she though of it. "Could be better" she replied. I didn't ask her any further questions!

BTW - here are the slates:
