Frame Constructed

The frame is now completed with the roof trusses in place, all done by the 2 master DIY builders...

The build has been a little difficult due to the weather, not rain but too much sun.
We have been having some very high temperatures of between 30 - 34 deg, and humidity of around 40% a great way to get a tan but a little unpleasant to work in.

It was an interesting exercise putting up the frames at height, we had a crane lift them up to the top floor, then very carefully moved them by hand around to there correct positions.
Its a bit more reassuring when you are surrounded by scaffolding, still a bit scary.
We fixed them all in place and then hired another crane to lift the roof trusses -so we could move them along to to there appointed positions,
A real challenge with no help, only the 2 of us.but we did it!

Sue fixing the metal truss plates so the roof wont fly away.

We are just waiting for the building inspector to OK the work, so we can start with the first stage of cladding, which is to fix the outside bracing plywood then the install the roof.
The windows are ordered and should be here in 2 weeks.
Our kitchen which is coming from Germany is due to arrive in 3 weeks, so no pressure...
We will have to put it into storage while we finish the inside of the house.
