All wrapped up

It's been a while since my last post. We have it all wrapped up and the purlins are up on the carport. Big thanks to Dad for helping me with the purlins. Was hoping to put the rest of the roofing on over the carport & storage in the weekend, but didn't quite get there. Will put that on this weekend as Steve is away this week. Man it sucks having to wait till the weekend to work on the house.

You can just see the 2° incline of the roofing over the living area

Hi dad.

Ready for roofing now

Some of my scribbles to the engineer

Roof Shout!

Finally got the roof on. We put it on over Friday & Saturday. Who needs rafters or trusses, this roofing just sits straight on the wall frames. Easy as.
Thanks so much to Wes, Paul, Luke and our new neighbour Richard for the help over the past few days and giving us a lift - you guys are awesome!

For those who care, the roofing is profiled metal on top, flat metal on the bottom, and a 150mm thick polystyrene core. Each sheet is 1m wide and links together just like regular roofing on top (one rib overlaps the next sheet) and tongue and groove at the bottom. It's normally used as roofing and cladding for cool store rooms, so it will keep us nice and warm.

The underside will be our finished ceiling, so no gib, no stopping, no painting, and the insulation is built it - job done.

All the panels delivered in a 40ft container

Last chance for a selfie on top of the frames - don't tell OSH

Good thing you've got that safety harness Steve - It's a pretty steep roof...

Living areas done
