The roof trusses are now in place, the builder has been very busy trying to get all the woodwork sorted out to get some felt on the roof to try and stop the rain getting in. This photo is at the rear of the house where the roof will be run into the exiting one.

There are a few extra details at the front, in particular above the window.

Just looking at the roof in its current state, it looks like a huge puzzle  You can tell these things are designed on computer these days to build a roof strong enough for the required loading without using more and larger bits of wood than you have to. In common with a lot of newer properties, the loft space isn't going to be an easy space to move around in.

The two photos below are taken from outside looking in, they are really starting to look like a room now there is some structure of the roof in place.

The hole in the floor that is visible in the last two photos has been left open for access. Eventually this will be solid and form part of the connection with the existing landing.
