I have been down in London for the past couple of days and it is always great to come back and see the progress on the house. The builders always seem to make more progress when I am not here! I wonder why!
Anyway, the roof is finally complete on the rebuilt extension. We were held up for a few days after the wrong size Velux rooflights were delivered. Anyway, the correct ones arrived earlier in the week and the roofers returned to finish off the job they had started.
It looks really nice and it very light inside. We have double the size of the window in the wall and increased the size of the rooflight and then put in two instead of one! Much of the window sizing was based on what was there previously (although there was never a rooflight). The problem with this approach is that this part of the building was a coal hole! There was no point in rebuilding it to have a very modern coal hole. It was easier enough to increase the window sizes. Since none of the windows overlook anyone else, or in fact can be seen by anyone, we didn’t need to go back to Planning.
When I get some time, I will take some photos from the inside.
The roof on the newly re-built extension has been completed. The Velux windows finally arrived a couple of days ago which meant that the roofer could get on and finish the job (despite the rain!).
