Hubby is 6'6 and doesn't feel closed in like he does in houses with 2.4m. We like the roof pitch - great for storing things up there plus easier to get around when doing work. Also more roof space air is more energy efficient I think. However it does make my house look huge outside - my high neighbour is like 1.5m higher than us with standard roof height and our roofs are nearly matching in height Was your plumbing in? Now is a good time to go through, check the frames for cracks etc before it's all covered up. Also a good time to check for warping in the frame along hallways etc as if it's bowed the plaster will bow with it. ~Shellby~ GJ Bridgewater 203 11/3/2016 - Site Work Started 29/9/2016 - Handover 142 Work Days 6 Work Days Over https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80174 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 15 Roof Trusses Started 2856May 01, 2017 2:54 pm The 2550 roof feels big enough especially because we aren't that tall either I'm 5'2 and hubby is 5'8 but cant help to dream what 2700mm roof would have been like... Not entirely sure our budget would have stretched that far though. No Plumbing done shell, not that we could see. I just cant wait to see our lady with her hat on and her windows and doors in then I feel like I'll be excited again to see some progress, while we are progressing with trusses I feel like we've been on this stage forever and its not really "progress" if that makes sense? I am praying they are done today as we had workers up there before 6am and team of them along with our SS who has been there all day too, maybe he is finally cracking the whip and getting involved?

Sister in law said it all looks to be virtually done Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 15 Roof Trusses Started 2858May 01, 2017 5:46 pm Glad you've got progress Charli!!!! I love the high ceilings, but when you think about it its only about 15cm difference between the 2550 and 2700 (probably barely noticeable in reality). Plus you don't need to look up in your house, you have all those gorgeous views instead.

Shut the front door right?!?!?! Sister in law said it all looks to be virtually done Nah, that can't be right. I don't believe you. Where are the pics? Just joking Thank god it's all happening. Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17517 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10404 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9559 |
