Everyone who tells us to update our blog more often: THANKS! It’s really great to know people actually like our posts enough to request more! We’ll really try to do better...
So much for ‘well-equipped big companies’… Bashi & Bram thought having the roof-rafters made by one would save a lot of time. In theory, yes, but since the ‘experienced craftsmen’ don’t know basic mathematics like Pythagoras’ law they managed to deliver the wrong sizes, over and over. In the end Bashi & crew with hand tools & brains would have been so much faster then brainless morons with fancy machines!
After much hassle and remakes we got ‘good enough’ trusses, meaning stuff Bashi, Foraman and crew could fine-tune to fit.
Another visitor / building inspector: Bram’s way-back-when-friend Eric. After spending years on converting a nice, big, empty plot in Gaborone into a beautiful big mansion, Eric sure has an eye for building!
Now that the trusses are finally up, the roof sheets can be put. First comes the veranda roofing, to prevent the builders from getting seriously damaged when they slip.
Is it strong, Foraman?
Note the view – it’s part of what we see from our roof terrace on top of the bedroom.
