Finished Frame

Well the frame is finished. The roofers started work this week - so far they have installed roofing sarking/paper and the battens for the slate. The battens are 35x35mm oregon, which surprised me. I was expecting pine. The battens have to be a soft timber to suite the slate shingles.

One item that is a bit behind is the chimney. This is being done next week, so the brickies will have to work in with what the roofers are doing.

Anyway, there is a photo below of the frame, showing the resemblance to our two "inspiration" houses below that. (Sorry the photo is a bit poor - the shadows kind of mess-up the view).
