First day and the work began in earnest. I was trying to take pictures from my cabin and they turned out terrible .. this was looking to be a pretty poor post until the guys at More Than Lofts send across some nice photos over WhatsApp. TOP TIP: If you ever find yourself blogging about what's happening on top of your house (a common occurrence I'm sure) invest in or find a friend with a drone .. or just ask the guys doing the work to take photos.
Today the roofers came .. and well de-roofed the house. Yup, in the middle of winter with a 10 day forecast of rain, rain and more rain we decided to remove the roof from the house. Fantastic planning.
Watching them do this, I was surprised at how little there actually is on a roof. Tiles, battens and then finally felt underneath. A day of work and it was all gone with just the rafters exposed.
These guys know their trade and used the battens to fix plastic over the exposed roof. Looks pretty solid, let's hope it holds up in the English weather before the new roof goes back on :)
And BTW .. I'm not really joking about the the forecast for the next 10 days ..😬
