Slates on roof!

All progressing well, roof timbers repaired and replaced, hipped roof to bathroom has timbers in place, and first of slates are going onto front roof

(see more pics on relevant pages - roof /outside works)

Making progress

Hoping for nice weather

Work is progressing, but at the minute the roof replacement work is weather dependent. We hope and pray for sunny days...

The gable walls are being prepared for mortar re-pointing

 

Work Begins...

A friend called to the cottage yesterday, and kindly took pics for us to see that work has commenced.
The tiles and latts have been removed from the roof, and one gable end wall has had some of old mortar removed, ready for repointing. Hoping for some decent weather now, to enable the builders to make more progress.

Work Commences...

Work has now begun to replace the roof, but unfortunately we are not there at the moment to oversee and take pics of progress....Have friends driving by and calling in to report on work so far..
Our builder confirms that all of the tiles are removed, and most of wooden latts, hoping for dry weather so they can make a start on replacement timbers etc very soon.
