Waterproof at last

Ordered the flashings as expected and they were installed along with the gable capping. While this was done I moved more of the "under pergola" stuff up into the shed to create more space for us.  Shopping for shelving on Saturday afternoon meant we had a little project first thing Sunday morning. Shelving went together quickly and Mich had emptied the bedroom and study with about 2 hours work. The place is starting to take shape.

Moving day

The shed is almost waterproof.  Flashings to be added as well as gable ends but I decided to begin to shift back into the new dwelling while I still had a couple of holidays remaining. This time 12 months ago I took a couple of weeks leave and began to dig trenches and get this massive job started. It's good to move from the pergola to the shed. Measured the flashings today and will order them tomorrow.

The roof is on!

After a second day of work on the roof, it's done. Cal and Lach were very diligent and kept at it for about 5 hours again today. Finally the sheets are on and I only have the ridge capping and door trims to complete.  I'll order those and be ready to instal them after Anzac Day.  I can begin to unclog the pergola area first, Mich will be happy!

Half the roof is on!

The Running season has finished and Cal and Lach put half the roof on the shed today. I assisted where I could but the young blokes dominated. All of the planning and cutting before hand ensured that it all went together smoothly. Cal led the way and with his experience and a couple of able "helpers" it progressed smoothly.  We will work on the second half tomorrow. It looks great!
