Its been a rather slow week this week getting started on the roof work. Shaping the rafter ends was straightforward enough but the distance between the rafters was greater than usual due to the SIP roof panel width. Additional support was therefore necessary so that the OSB covers would not sag under the weight of the slates.

The weather also contributed to the slow progress with showers stopping work ( it feels just like a cricket test match!) at times. The counter batons through finally did start to get installed at the end of the week. I have had to postpone the solar collector installation again since we need the slate batons in place for the installation.

Hopefully we can start making better progress next week so we can have the roof complete before the start of trades fortnight in July
