Roof is ON!

The roofers must have finished the work on Saturday and we have some pictures to show you. The roofing material is Colorbond corrugated metal, with the colour "Woodland Gray". Under the Australian sun, the council requires that we put in good insulation under the roof so that went on first, and then the colorbond material. They even installed our two colour-matched whirly birds (to let hot air out from the roof space under colorbond).

We are happy with the colour of our roof, it came out exactly as the colour swatches we got in the catalog so we are pleased with that.

Front of the house. Garage is hidden by that ugly tree.

Back of the house. The big concrete is our future swimming pool. The roofers left the roof of the alfresco area undone, so we are assuming that they will come back after the weatherboard cladding goes on for our upstairs back wall.

Roof progress

The workers were supposed to finish the roofing today, but because of the gail force wind that we have had today, they had to come back again tomorrow (which will be Saturday) to finish the job.

Roof is going up, FINALLY!

Workers are up on the roof today starting to put up the support wood frame for our roof to go on top of. Finally, there is something happening at the house site. It has been a very long wait.
