uptill now

we put some more scaffolding up for the roofers to work on top. it is a required process by the nz safety. this is to ensure the people going up do not fall off the building. the house was given to them for two days to lay down the self sopporting under lay(bitumous paper) this is layed over all the purlins an strectched so it was straight over the purlin, making sure there are no sags.after that the congregated iron is put over top of the underlay and screwed . one over laping the over. the roofer also put up the fascias an gutter..

back onsite. we took down the scafolding and did abit of house keeping. the weather boards were sent so we could paint them with four coatings. the weather boards are painted on both sides. as this went on we used the building wrap to wrap the whole house. this is used for extra insulation and protection.  the paper is stuck on with the staple gun it is pulled tight so it doesnt have any sags. blue strap also went on between the 1 above every nog spacing having a total of 3 at each stud with nogs between.
