Just took these pics this evening so there wasn't much light. I'll take some better pics tomorrow.

I'm not entirely sure as yet, but the roof subcontractors had all week to get the roof finished. Everything started out ok on Monday morning. But then the subcontractors inexplicably left the site with the job halfway done. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with no progress at all, even though the subcontractors had informed our SS that they'll be working on the roof during those days. So the roof blanket was left entirely at the mercy of the elements. Luckily it didn't rain at all here during that time. But heavy rain had been predicted for Thursday night. Then the subcontractors finally turn up again on Thursday morning, and we're thinking that they'll surely finish the roof before the rain hits later. But they spend all of Thursday just working on the rear open-living section of lower roof. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ By the end of Thursday they had completed the rear open-living section, but the front section over the garage was still without ridge capping. The subcontractors didn't cover it with a tarp or anything. They just finished up and left the site with the garage roof blanket still exposed. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So the rain hits and saturates the exposed garage roof blanket through the ridges. I called Bradford the next day to find out if that's a bad thing and they advised me that it is indeed a bad thing, and that as a result of getting very wet the blanket can shrink and also mould will probably form in the blanket later. I'm pretty annoyed that the subcontractors only came out Monday and Thursday to work on the roof when they had 4 full days of sunshine to get it done. I informed my SS that the subcontractors hadn't finished the roof, and he informs me that they should have finished Thursday and that he'll go out and take a look at it. I didn't hear anything back from my SS, but I'm pretty sure he revved the subcontractors up because they were out there first thing this morning (Saturday) finishing the garage roof. I'll talk to my SS on Monday to find out what happened. I've also informed Houspect of what happened, and they advised that they will thoroughly inspect the garage roof blanket when they carry out their next inspection.

Spoke with our SS on Monday to get the guts on what took place. So it turns out after I spoke with him on Friday morning he visited the site to check it out for himself. He then contacted the roof subcontractors and informed them that they would be removing the colorbond over the garage and replacing the wet roof blanket. And he instructed them to provide a signed certificate for the disappointed customer stating that they had indeed replaced the wet roof blanket with new roof blanket for our peace-of-mind. Man I love this guy! In other news, Houspect carried out their pre-lining inspection today. Should have the results back by Friday. Hopefully everything is AOK and we can proceed to Lock Up stage.
