Roof Finished

You learn something new every day or so they say.   Well, today I learnt that it is difficult to take photographs of flat, black roof.  Here, if needed, is proof:


This is the bathroom waste pipe vent, neatly surrounded with lead flashing.  Autumn leaves brighten the scene.


This is where the roof joins the tower wall, evidenced by the the dust from the Stihl saw disc which cut the flashing groove.


One of the two main drain outlets on the roof


A third roof drain goes almost horizontally through the parapet wall.  Hopefully it will never see water as it is the overflow weir.


The existing annex roof is the temporary storage area for ladders, Gordon the Gondola and rain-screen cladding  There is quite a difference in height of the old and new parapets.   We shall have to construct a style over the uneven drop between the parapets.

Today I hitched up the big trailer to the Shogun and went to Iron Octopus Ltd at Baildon to collect the newly made Juliet Balcony which will go across the main bedroom's sliding glass doors.   More on that later.
