All Wrapped Up

It’s been less than a week since our last visit to the building site, and things have certainly changed.  The roof now sports a layer of building paper overlaid by timber battens.  We visited the “big boss” of the project in his office last week and he informed us the our roof would be going on this week.  He has been involved with building several of these village complexes over the last few years, and the buildings go up like clockwork, he said.  The building now has a covering of Tekton House Wrap,  a synthetic coated spun-bonded polypropylene breather-type building wrap used to keep framing drier while permanent cladding is installed.

“Here to take more photos?”, the friendly builders asked. They informed us that the fire-proof wall linings, each side being a double thickness, will be put up after the roof has been installed.  And the kitset loft with fold down stairs had been delivered, together with some of the insulation.  No doubt this will be going up shortly too.

Things are moving along very well, and we are certainly pleased with the progress being made.
