Week 39, Day 1 from Camera 2

First few sections of zinc on the vertical face of the north roof installed by 10am, zinc panel forming machine in the foreground

Close-up of bottom of zinc panels on north roof

The zinc panels don’t stay that shiny for long – the panels on the south roof have already gone a duller colour after the first rain shower.

No further zinc installed on the south roof but preparation for the cedar cladding around the clerestory windows

Cut-outs for downlighters and PIR sensor in one of the bathrooms

Bath being prepared for the second floor bathroom

The hot water runs through a temperature regulator valve upstream of the wall-mounted mixer valve (out of shot), and the outlet from the mixer enters the bath via the “overflow”.
