Thought you might have used cloaked verge tiles James

[Marks DTM Calib]

Looking good.

Only key thoughts:

Truss roof - Stick built would have given much more flexability 'use' of the roof space.


I ahve to say, for me, I dont liek the verge tiles but do make sure they used a good sharp/building sand mix for bedding the tiles and ridge.

I take your point Rob, but I'm using standard tiles on the verges to match the detail on the house.

Woo, cloaked verge tiles. Didn't know about them.

Seems a good idea on the face of it, as every tiled edge on almost every house round here has had to be re done. The muc doesn't bind to the boards, so over time, big lumps of cement just fall out. Rubbish

I considered a hand cut roof, and also attic trusses, but the costs were prohibitive.  Due to the design of the roof on the house, it's not practical to use the loft space for storage, so I intend to you the garage roof space for storage.  This truss design works quite well for that, because you can store stuff between the trusses, keeping the central walkway clear.

Take your point about the bedding mix Mark.

I know you'll have a good reason, but why no windows of roof windows for natural light?

Security mainly, costs secondly.

I've got an insulated, electric roller door being installed on the 26th.  I've used the company before and they are very good.  It comes with sensors to stop it coming down if something is in the way, an internal manual override in the even of a power failiure, a control panel to operate in from inside the garage, a courtesy light, and 4 remote keyfobs!  Plus a 5 year comprehensive warranty.
