Need to get them done asap but Mark busy next week so waiting on another mate who may be able to do them but has a broken collar bone (rendering with a broken clavicle? Ouch)

Once they are done i can get the lid off and the tiles on. I said id set it out for him but carrying them up is a doddle its the getting down again i havent yet masterered. Im back to looking after the boys in Wednesday so things are slowing down. Need to get the insulation down in the floor as its bloomin cold in here at the moment!

No i was going to go for a coloured monocouche finish like K-rend r Weber. Its got a textured finish but cant seem to get supply of it!

I reckon ill end up having to go t for normal render with a painted finish

Render outside no lights

thats why i used that gear in the end the render was a lot of work and i couldent do it myself

 

[Perry]

Scottley you doing the roof tiles ?

 

[Scott]

No Pete, I've never done it before but now looking at the process wish i was giving it a go. If i had more time to be honest id like to but you know how these things are. Sometimes although you could probably do a job its better to just gt someone in to do it for you as its quicker and allows you time to do other things.

I was concerned with the setting out around the windows and that still concerns me as there are a lot of factors to make it lk nice. Same as our tiling really only we can adjust ours laterally and the roof tiles only have a small amount of movement in either direction.

Having said all that i do have to get the gear up there for him as that was the deal on the price he gave me. 3000 large pan tiles and 2700 plain tiles! Not looking frward to that one!

Scott, it's great to see the shots of your progress and the methods for framing used in the UK.

It doesn't look like a proper construction site, however--no beer cans laying all around.

Time we had an update me thinks if you got time that is !!!

 

[Scott]

Well its been some time since i last posted on the progress and i have to say im really really pleased with the overall look of the house.

I've never really gone out on a whim and tried anything too ambitious but this has really put me up against it and i think i won the battle.

 

[Scott]

And finally the before and after

 

[peckers]
