Happy man......more steps complete. Blinded, manholes raised, drains in and all plastering done. Just missing one more thing now..........feckin tarmac!
Another 4 week wait, was ordered 6 weeks ago.
Wife was not amused at me using her Q5 as a roller for the blinding
Then the final bill will arrive
spent a fortune so far.

If @big_pete has taught us anything it’s that everyone needs a feature wall for photos 
One full wall that won’t have anything on it and painted white. Just taped the joints and painted over. Leaving the screw holes helps me know where the steel batons are and I can replace single sheets easily if needs be without any faff

A year already, where does it go, feels like a few months ago I was getting excited about having work space again!

nah, just another building going up at work (Almac), honestly the speed that buildings go up around here is unreal!
Which is daft considering the amount of staff leaving and offices empty.with a helipad

Is that "Orby"?with a helipad
I haven't updated in a while because not a lot has happened. It took me a long time to cut and fit all of the diagonal supports - all 18 of them and cut and fit the overhangs. This evening I got stuck into roofing it and cut all the rafters to size. Can't wait to see some reclaimed slates on there.
Still have to find slates for the front to match the house but I picked up enough reclaimed slates to do the back side a few weeks ago. Could also do with some scaffolding tressles if anyone has any going spare to do the front.
Managed to get the battens finished today despite the torrential rain and the wind trying to blow me off the roof.
First load of slates fitted. It's a long and tedious process. I got these slates from a terrace house roof in north Belfast. They are just grey so that's why I'm using them on the back. The front will have proper Bangor blues on it to tie in with the house. Can't wait to get it all slated.
