An update on proceedings...
It's been a busy, hard week of graft here at the Saxonian house-hold. SWMBO is not happy with the builders yard that has sprung up, but hey-ho...
Thursday / Good Friday saw the scaffolding erected

Easter Monday and me and my builder stripped off the existing roofing (and bloody hard graft it was too.)

The existing roofing was a bitumen covering with glass fibre which was coated with

Tuesday saw me loading the scaffolding with bricks as my builder cracked on with laying them.

Wednesday was another brick laying day as well. I also jointed the halve joints on the 2 wall plates
Thursday - Roof trusses delivered and fitted

These are "scissor trusses" as I need as much internal height I can muster (3.5 meters to the top of the finished ridge is what I got plnning permission for).

This is the view from inside the garage - On my first view it looks cavernous compared to the old flat foof.
