It's been raining a lot in Sydney the past few weeks and we've been concerned about the massive soaking the house has been getting since there's no roof. Anyway to our surprise they have finished all the first floor gutters, fascia and roof tiles. Just as well, the rain just hasn't stopped. The ground floor still doesn't have any roof tiles but at least the main part of the building is covered. Most of the first floor hebel panels have been installed.
Picture of the back of the house. The garage, rumpus and outdoor room don't have roof tiles yet. I forgot to take a picture from the front, so this is the only external photo I have for now.
The roof tiles we chose, Boral French Terracotta (unglazed) in Eclipse colour.
The front door frame
Sarking on the first floor. This should keep most of the dust and dirt out of the roof and allow us to use some of the space for storage.
The first floor is pretty dry considering the rain we've had prior to the roof installation
Some misguided screws which should be holding the yellow tongue boards down. This will need to be fixed otherwise we'll have creaking floors.
Some hebel in the garage not sure how much more will be needed to finish the walls, but I'll ask if we can keep any left overs.
