Roof, roof, roof!

With Christmas fast approaching, I have to say I am happy with my present. This year we got a roof on our new house. I am very excited that it may soon be wrapped in batons, felt and tiles.

The lads on site have been working hard. Wonder if Mark used Roofers Ready Reckoner, a book he used to read when we were children full of charts and diagrams and maths. I wonder if he knows the old edition of this book from 1987 now sells on Amazon for over £100. He will do once he has read this.

Daddy Mark has been servicing the nail guns to ensure they are in full working order.

We are still so excited about the build and cannot wait for what 2011 will bring, hopefully two new family homes. We are also going to be spending some quality time enjoying the festivities and seeing our family. Just have to ensure that Daddy Mark and Keiran don’t eat to many mince pies, as we would hate them to put too much strain on the scaffold.

Our windows

Everybody needs good neighbours!

After a little while away from the site, due to the snow holding us back and the temperature being below 3°. The brick layers were back on site putting up the last few blocks. The windows look amazing with the detailing, a feature I believe it is called.

It is just amazing actually walking through the house and imagining where all the furniture will go.

A place for our car on bricks.

All four of us new Junction Road tenants had a little trip up there on Saturday, before Christmas shopping to have a little look round. We have found the perfect spot just down the side of Sabrina and Keiran’s place to put the Ford Cortina on bricks. We are really hoping our new neighbours will appreciate the plans for our new gardens. We know we are moving to a nicer area just not sure we have the etiquette for all that yet.


Next to come the roof!
