Not a bad week of progress. No heads up on what was going to happen but during the week the eaves have been finished off & painted, the particle board on the front spare bedroom has been put up, and the roofing trusses for the final sections of roof on the ground floor have been installed. Most of the scaffolding has also been removed.
It now looks like only the tiles need to go on before the house can be sealed and the internal work can commence.
Last week we received variation claim for the wet weather which occurred the prior week. One of the days claimed for experienced just 0.2mm of rain and the claim was filed for 'inclement weather'. We can't argue with the days either side, but we queried this day, as a single light shower isn't exactly going to prevent people from being able to work safely. The response we received was as follows:
'Because the roof has to be bone dry before we can complete the ridging wether it be 0.2mm or 200mm of rain.'
That was the extent of the response. So the ridging on the roof can't be done with any dampness whatsoever.... I can say whether or not that's valid as I'm not a builder but here's the big issue.... the ridging was completed when we stopped by the house the previous morning!!! we have the pictures which we sent to each other to prove it....
Anyway, I queried this on Wednesday and we're yet to receive a response. hmmmmm. We're yet to ask why there was nothing else they could do on the day instead of the ridging also....
Below are a few pics.
