We are the barn roof just before the Christmas holidays with the waterproof membrane in its place and ribbons that extend to intervals to keep it in position. Unfortunately, the two -week rest became three, since one of the workers fell with ‘flu. For security reasons, a man cannot work alone.
The work resumed last week with a revenge, with two teams of two working on it, so they made considerable progress. The photo above is how it was seen last Friday.
Expert work
I am full of admiration for workers, who work in all climates. Before Christmas, it was steam and cold. Last week, the weather dries but very cold, the temperatures fell to less 8 ° C several mornings running. This is the coldest climate we have experienced for several years. One of the men said: “We prefer this climate.” They turned on a bonfire with old wood woods and a periodically heated theme, for it.
They also know their things. This local company is not the cheapest, and must wait in line before I can start working, but the work is high level. From a rough and undulating structure, they have created a straight and flat roof that will last for many years while preserving the original style. When possible, the old woods have preserved.
Approaching the final stretch
This is where we are now. The slats are at the front and ready for the mosaics.
The back is not finished, but this implies a few hours of work before they can start hanging the mosaics.
Speaking of tiles, eight pallets now adorn our front grass. They probably contain thousands of mosaics. It is not surprising that the slats have to be so together to support all that weight.
They have also installed the Zin peel, but not yet the low ones, so I hope it does not rain before they do it. The gutter was not, of course, an original characteristic, but a large amount of rain spills from this large surface, causing damage to the doors. We hope to solve a way to capture some of this precious resource.
Finally, they have rebuilt the Lucarne (Ceiling ship). We could eliminate it, but we thought that an opening at the top level of the barn would be necessary. TO maçon He straightened the unstable stones and set up new ones under him.
Below are images of before and after the front, showing the Lucarne. The new version is high and more steep. We always feel that the previous Lucarne It was a subsequent addition, since it was not as well built as the rest of the barn. Now he has a new life opportunity.
Now we are probable looking at the end of January to complete. This means that the place will have been a construction site for two months, and we are eager to clean. We have begun to refer to the crane as “our crane.” The place will be empty once he and his accompaniment generator have gone.
I hope the next post on the barn is the last!
The story is not over yet. Our fireplace will be rejected soon and a leak at one end of the waters of the fixed roof. The new blinds in the upper windows are on the cards, as well as in several other improvements and alterations this year.
Like ours maçon Saying, “Unne Maison N’est Jamais finished.(You never finish a house).
