Tree top views

Another site visit and more progress to see.  The roof deck has been laid and sealed with bitumen, ready to receive the tapered insulation and single-ply waterproof membrane.  The parapet walls are up to their full height, which gives us a really good impression of what the roof terrace will be like.  You feel like you're in the tree tops and the view is impressive.

At ground level the vertical timber counter-battens have started to be installed, ready for the addition of horizontal battens and finally cedar shingles.

The window company have been on site measuring up so not long now until it's weathertight.  Finger's crossed we don't get any snow in the next couple of weeks!

Timber counter-battens are the first step towards fixing the shingles
