House Construction

Here are some pictures from our house construction:

Applying a natural finish (fermented mix of cow dung and sieved soil) on mud plastered wall


Our neighbour appreciating the naturally finished wall

  5. A roof generally has the roof skeleton which is the framework of the beams of the roof. It has rafters which are part of the truss. It has a decking which covers the rafters and which the roofing materials are attached to. It will have a drip edge which lets water run off. roofing companies
