Ah, a good sign upon entering the driveway - a pile of Colourbond
roofing! And, even better, some of it is on the roof of the
southern wing.

A closer view of the roof, and the valley where the southern and
western wings meet. Also there is foiled backed insulation under
the metal roof. One advantage of a metal roof is the small amount
of thermal mass involved, so that the roof structure cools off
rapidly when the sun goes down, helping to keep the house cooler
during the long days of summer.
A view of the roof from the porch just outside the kitchen.
The green material on the right hand edge is the ridge capping
for the crown of the roof.
Looking up at the underside of the roof over the lounge room, showing
the foil backed insulation under the steel roof.
Detailed view of the roof at the northern end of the western wing.
Within the next day or so, this should be covered up too.
Garry showing off his new tool belt! He's almost a real carpenter
now.
Three, count 'em three, real pockets to hold assorted carpentry tools,
nails etc. Garry was quite chuffed, and kept wondering why he
hadn't bought a
real
one before now.
The problem here was that the brick delivery fork lift could not deliver the bricks because the metal roofing was in the way. As I was leaving, it seemed the solution was to drop the load of bricks on the driveway, then use the forklift to move the metal out of the way and then deliver the bricks onto the site.
