Oh hello sarking - so I was a bit premature

Turns out there was nothing to worry about. Procedure these days is to pre cut the batons and "rest" them on the roof in preparation of sarking and tile installation. So when I called our SS this morning the response was "it's going on as we speak". It sounded like he got that call a lot!
Roof should be finished tomorrow. Dad drove past tonight and says all of the sarking is complete and the front few tiles are done. No photos though - I need to convince Dad to start taking photos when he goes past!

Roof tiles are here ... But where's the sarking?

The Clarendon team have been straight back into it after their Christmas break by hey haven't wasted time in getting the gutters up and now our roof tiles have been delivered. I'm told these will be laid Monday and Tuesday next week. We are LOVING seeing the colours come together for the exterior and I must say we're pretty chuffed with ourselves right now, and have breathed a sigh of relief to see that the new bricks are in keeping with our colour combinations. Now just to wait for the render to be painted and the garage door to go on to see the while effect.

Our big concern at the moment is that while the roof tiles have been delivered and it looks like the batons are in place, there is no sarking anywhere to be seen. Doug asked me to double check that our SS had this under control a week ago but I decided I could trust them. Now all Doug's saying is "I told you so!" Text has been sent to the SS on Saturday morning and tomorrow will be a quick phone call to find out what's going on
