The steel turned up early in the morning and the roof was pretty much finished by the end of the day. Next step will be to install the windows.

| First crane load - roofing insulation. We insisted in having as much insulation as possible in the tight flat roof crawl space so hopefully there'll be no need for air-conditioning in the summer. Time will tell if this is to be the case. |
 |
| Work begins: The insulation and steel is craned onto the roof and the three boys hop about on the joists. Missing your step would be painful, if not terminal. I well remember a holiday labouring job years ago in the UK where we had to remove old iron radiators from a house after the floor boards had been removed. Not much fun hopping from joist to joist with a 35kg radiator on your shoulder. |
 |
| The roofers had done this much by 9:30 in the morning. Things have changed since the days of slate tiles and pitched roofs |
 |
| With an impending storm in the distance, the roof is, finally, on. The brick walls have yet to be capped, the bulk of the roof was done in one day. |
