I am going out to buy the wood that will be used to do this roof. I have to arrange for solignum, (although I will use hard wood for this job, the type termites can hardy chew) I intend to finish all arrangements about treating the wood today so that by morrow morning, the carpenter can start work in full, more pictures will be uploaded today.

There are woods are there is WOOD! My insistence on only hardwood, the costliest and the best is going to raise the estimates of this wood from initial estimates, but am happy, these wood will never rot in 100 years time, I am talking of the inyi wood, that is what am paying for and it wont be very cheap.

is inyi wood a special type of hard wood?

Yes, and usually costlier. I like it because termites dont bite it so its longevity is guaranteed. I saw 2x4x18 wood for N500, softwood but I will not use it for my own house, such wood wont last up to ten years before termites will break it to pieces.

This purchase is just the first batch and this is the ones that will be needed to kickstart the job, my carpenter has been shouting that this qty will never be enough to do the houses.
I left off paying for purlings after they tried to load another wood for me instead of the one I paid for. We disagreed and they refunded me the moneyfor the purling that was the object of disagreement. This is what timber dealers do all the time, collect money to sell you hardwood and then sell you another wood. Although they are the ones who agreed to sell inyi wood for N300 instead of the N350 it is sold in the market. I will buy more wood after the carpenters finish the one on the ground.
Work will start early morning tomorrow.

The trusses will be formed with the 2x4x18 hardwood already bought and being used on the site.
Re: Roofing A 4 Bedroom Bungalow With Gatehouse (pictures) by spyder880(m): 10:22pm On Jun 17, 2011
My carpenters were busy on site throughout the day, and have used up all the 3x4x12 type woods placed on the walls as wall plates, they also formed some tie beams today, their speed is as expected, real professionals grin I will upload the progress pictures by tomorrow.

The total sq mtr should be around 512 and I think I should seek the permission of my client to know if he wants his roof plan to be displayed here.

I am going out this morning to get more aluminum quotes from another 2 companies based in Enugu. This time I will be getting quotes for 0.45 gauge and 0.55 gauge for us to see the price variance and compare. Some reports about this later today.

Well from what i see, it seems its gonna be a simple Hipped roof since we dont see any gable walls going up. i wish there were drawings to explin better to those who want to understand and estimate their own costs.
