WAITING FOR THE ROOF

The roof rafters are up, and we have appointed A&A National roofing contractors to fit the roof sheets. So far, I am not impressed. They were due to start on Monday 20 February 2012, then it became Tuesday, then Wednesday [today]. I was contacted by them this morning to say they may only be on site after midday today, and perhaps only tomorrow [Thursday]. If I had known this ahead of time, I would have had the builder on site this week to finish up a few odds and ends.

The builder spent last week building in the timber roof rafters, and started screeding the floors. If it wasn't for the roofers messing with our scheduling, the builder could have finished the floor screeding this week.

In the meantime, we have appointed EcoBeam to supply our floor joists. Not only can they supply them in next to no time, they have significantly undercut their competition in quoted price. The joistS should be on site next week, and we are looking forward to getting the first floor structure up. Fingers crossed that the roofers finish up by Friday......
