The zinc roof is being installed but the company forgot to order the Velux windows! This is a big problem as the plasterers cannot proceed until they are put in and the whole project has to be put back.
There were a lot of people in a bad mood!
The window openings have to be covered over to protect against rain while we wait for the windows, which could be weeks!
In the mean time the builders could now put on the slate roof.
Where the kitchen roof joins the main roof was a difficult task which was made even more difficult because we wanted two Velux windows in the hallway.
The windows became smaller and smaller until we had to have some bespoke ones made which were quite expensive. We had them in the kitchen for weeks but when we opened the box we found that the measurements had been turned around and they were no good!
More hours on the phone and delays but finally the builders managed to squeeze some off the shelf ones in and the company refunded us the cost as it was their error.
The whole roof episode cost us weeks of time and was very stressful. We got there in the end however and the builders had done an excellent job.
