Corduroy roof

3/8/2016

A black cord hoody for a house! Roofing sheets nearing completion on the west, rooflights fully fitted along with recessed flashings to reduce their visual impact. I really like the look of the Onduline cladding, especially in strong sunlight as shown here. Hoping to complete the east roof face later this week then I can't wait to see the walls completed. Once the roof's done we should be pretty much weathertight, which will allow the plywood to fully dry out - at that point insulating and lining the inside can begin....

Western elevation taking shape, ridge units and guttering still to be fitted.
