The roof sheets are on at last!

The view from the front:

And from the back alfresco side:

Looking back towards the kitchen from the family room door:

A couple of very cheeky boys trying to avoid having their photos taken and failing miserably!

Once they've got the ridge capping on, we just have to wait for two weeks to let everything dry out enough for the plasterers to start rendering.

Hmmm .. might start looking for other internal decorating ideas while I'm waiting.

Look out bank account, here I come!

And now we have gutters.

No roof; just gutters.

And the occasional downpipe ... right in the walkways:

We do have some plumbing (both water and gas) as well as

some electrical wiring starting to happen:

And an almost swimming pool in the alfresco:

Hope the rain stops long enough for them to put the roof sheets on.

We have a roof frame!

They started the roof frame on the 19th July.

From the back alfresco corner:
And this is the roof on the 22nd July.
Move quickly when they want to, don't they?
If you look closely, you can spot one of the locals checking the place out...
Here's a close-up for those of you with bad eyesight (like me):

He sat up there for most of the time I was there. I think he was going to try to claim the place as his own, but once he saw how happy I was that there is finally a roof, he took off down the street.
