Final calculation on the roof was made on Monday at 4000 sq ft. That's 6% bigger than the original estimate I made, with a consequential increase in material costs as well:-(
New roof was ordered and delivery date should be confirmed sometime today....hopefully we'll not be looking at a huge delay.
Last night HUGE downpour of tropical dimension tested the waterproof claims made of the paper-thin Tyvek and it passed with flying colours. A few dribbles got in here and there, but nothing dramatic. But I had a sleepless night with a couple of nocturnal inspections of the loft by torchlight.
Sunshine is forcast today. That'll help dry the place out. This really does feel like camping.
