Roof Progress

7th July 2012:  Slow (no) progress for some time due to weather, and being busy.  Managed a little progress on the roof this morning.  I covered the overhang with 5mm ply.  This isn't structural grade, but is fully supported, and only 50mm deep.  5mm used to limit the height difference to the insulated panels.  The height difference now will be only 5mm, so won't cause an issue when it comes to the edpm waterproof membrane.

Pic below shows the covered overhang from above:

The roof covered again and ready for the next rally of rain:

Latest pic of front.  Next steps to fit facias and EPDM roof membrane.  I'll then be waterproof and ready to clad, fit soffits (plus external lights) fit the doors, then just the internals left.  The final stage will also be the decking landscaping around the front....

Facias fitted all around.  Cedar on the front and sides, large UPVC facia on the back.

Close up of the roof corner from above.  See the plastic facia on the back, and Cedar on the sides.

The Door

The Door.

Braced door with the cedar cladding as the front material.  This will be as seamless as possible into the shed area of the cladding

I am using 7 pieces of tongue and groove with the tongue off the end piece.  A piece of 4X2 timber to but up against the frame and hold the hinges.

The process was stewing through the braces, 10mm into the cedar, then turning over and using the stainless ring shank nails on the from to hold.

I hadn't planned it, but this door is very heavy....

Pics below:

The front of the door, planned to loos seamless into the cladding if possible..

The back of the braced door.  notches cut in, 6" screws to hold together.  Screwed from the back, the nailed from the front.
