The roof...the roof....the roof is on!!!

Guess what - the roof is on!! 100 square metres of Headland (also known as red) colourbond now tops the extension and replaces the old corrugated iron over the kitchen and dining room.

The roof came a day early and a bit unexpectedly. As we live on a road with a no parking zone from 6.30am till 9.30am, scheduling the arrival of 18m spans of iron was a tough call. It was set for 5.30am on Thursday morning and everyone was set for an early start. Surprisingly the roof turned up on Wednesday. The poor truck driver had to park around the corner till the builders and roofer arrived on site at about 7am. And then had to wait till the no parking zone ended. It's a testament to the quality of tradesmen that Brad uses as well as his own team that the roof still went on in a day.

The blue board went on down the side of the house, side windows went in and plumbing and electrical cabling as well. A big week! Rather than inching towards completion we are striding with seven league boots!

Next week another exciting chapter.....excavation of storm water pits and building of a deck and pergola....oh yeah the fun's all here...

The roof - looks like Hunter 'magicked' it there!
