It looks like a good, neat job to me. Is there a bedroom in there or was it for storage space/thermal insulation? I like the van shot  |

there isnt a bedroom. if i stand on the original flat roof i had to duck slightly to get under the ridge bar so it was approx 6ft 2 off the roof.
the van shot is good like. its not the longest timber ive had on it either.
tryanything: I should have thought so. (i only picked up the timber, i didnt order it and cant remember what it said on the invoice now.)
i seem to remember having a convo with ma boss about stressgraders when i was building the roof so it probably was.
the plywood was originally fitted to seal up the adjoining roof. the gable end is ply wood and cladded with pvc.
uhm: yes it was great fun getting the timber up. lots of strength needed. was a tad painfull as it was my first job back after a hernia opp |
