A roof over our house

After missing the assembly of the walls on the first floor, I planned to take Friday off for the installation of the roof. 

But ... 

The rain having invited itself during this week (August rains of tropical kind ... after the heatwave of July!), Wolfgang, our engineer from Renken, choose to move this step forward to Thursday, in order to protect the wooden structure as quickly as possible from this celestial water, so good for snails and frogs, these two pillars of gastronomy for we Frenchies (kidding!), but not really recommended for our wood walls and floors ... 

So the roof was done, between showers, without our presence. 

No film, no photos, this blog now starts to be of no interest ... ;-D  

Ok, here you do not really see it, but above these walls have been raised the big boxes which were stored in front of the house, and above it a whole set of beams that are still waiting to receive the waterproof membrane ( no tiles ... we really do not make things like everyone!) 

Viewed from inside, after a climb via our Grand Staircase (the ladder, which is graciously made available by yet another wonderful neighbor, so that we can visit our house when the carpenters are home with their tools and ladders !) 

The celing is quite high here, with a slope downward toward the container. 

The door to the second bathroom is visible, and you still have to imagine that a light wall will be built (at 2/3 of the block) to create the bedroom. 

One can distinguish a few traces of water that still wets the floor. It has resisted the Flood, like the rest, and is now drying slowly, protected from the still falling rain by the gray plastic foil covering the window openings and the large red  tarp (clearly visible from the sky, so that the planes, birds and UFOs can go and land elsewhere!) which was placed over the  brand new beams and roof boxes.
