The extension roofs have been felted and battened so are semi-watertight! (It's not really felt, that's something best used for Austrian hats or for kids to stick 'fuzzy' shapes to!) Anyway, putting the waterproof membranes (otherwise called 'felt' by the builder) in place now means the roofs can be tiled (using reclaimed clay tiles) on the bedroom extension and cedar shingles on the kitchen. With all the roofing materials now on site this should happen during the next week or so.
Meanwhile we're still trying to source a timber kitchen that looks contemporary but doesn't blow the budget...not an easy task! Went to see a joiner today who uses reclaimed timber for some of his kitchens. In the showroom the units looked strangely familiar. Rather bizzarely, when we mentioned where Hillside is, he told us he built the kitchen there 12 years ago, apparently one of his first albeit not one of his best!
Small world.
