All of the major beams are now in place and so are most of the spars.  The spars in the kitchen roof are still to be done, but this will be done this week as the roofers are due in the next couple of days.

You can see the roof in the previous photos, but here are some close-ups taken from the scaffold.

The roof spars on the front of the extension are now ready to be felted. However, the spars are still to be installed on the kitchen roof (seen in the distance).

There are large rooflights in the kitchen - one front and one back. There are 3m wide - 5 panels, each 600mm. Two on each side are openers (electrically operated). This means that the middle panel and the two end panels in each set are fixed.

There is a lot of wood here even with the openings. There is no difference between the white and yellow wood, just different suppliers.

Although all the main beams have been put in the kitchen roof, the spars are still to go on. This should happen this week. We still need to brick up around the openings that were made to carry the new beams on the older property.
