Roof Framing

We bumped into most of our close neighbours over the weekend and the roof framing has certainly made an impression.
 
The room height is even taller than we envisaged and is a big surprise for the neighbours who have the old 2 metre tall lean-to as their previous reference point. To put it in context, it is still 4 metres lower than the apex of one immediate neighbours double storey pitched roof.
 
From our point of view, we have already made the adjustment and will love the extraordinary light and views onto the sky and weather it will provide.

Wall Framing

Framing is the most exciting stage in a build - it reveals the space and natural light of the design.
While we will be gaining interior space, light, warmth and comfort, there is no escaping the extension has swallowed a large portion of our back yard. With 20 fruit trees in pots, the challenge will be to re-settle them harmoniously in the space available.
 
Goodbye backyard, hello extension!
