Roof Framing

The roof framing is going up - yay!



I stood there and made sure that they put in 600mm eaves - Critical for the long term durability of the place. For every 100mm of eave, 200mm of wall gets protected from the weather. It goes from a H3 to a H1/H2 hazard rating. Together with the gutter, it means that just about all of the windows, they will theoretically not get wet when it rains. That means we won't have to wash or maintain them much. It is funny how most new dwellings these days have zero eaves - minimal protection against the weather.





I did a bit more pruning of the trees. Poor crepe myrtle - still it does show signs of life.
