Finally got the back porch roof finished!

It took an afternoon to slate each side of the 'join' between the house and the new porch roof.

And it has rained every day for the last week or two.

Note how the window drains onto zinc, which will drain directly into the gutter. Cunning, eh? Lets us slate over the bottom of the window without getting a build-up of water in the window frame.

Hugh tries out the wheelbarrow, and a cinnabar moth tries out the porch.

View from on high, of Pete cutting slates.

Roof nearing completion, and the final ridge tile put in place. Now we could do with some rain to wash off the bits of mortar.

 

The finished roof, phew!!
