Okay - we are up and running!!!
Here's a few pics of the final look (minus the final coat of light grey paint to blend in with the house. I had hoped to use the same Cemintel sheeting as was used for the house - prefinished 9mm concrete sheet but at $170 a sheet it was way beyond the budget. Used blueboard which I've never built with before - a bit of a bugger to put up on your own but cheap enough.
The timber feature sections are again to provide some sympathy to the look of the house (thus adhering to the design overlord's requirements!). The timber is actually kauri floorboards dressed using a thicknesser. Timber I've had for years after my company demolished an old Caulfield brothel to build our offices. Plenty of oil in them I suspect!!
Not entirely happy with the roller set up. I didn't want to splurge on the V groove set up and ended up using rollers I got from Bunnings. In hindsight I should have gone the C purlin route that Paul suggested - perhaps a retro fit down the track.
Still pretty hot inside so I'll put some rigid foam insulation under the roof and I've added some floor vents on one side and a computer fan to the other side up on the wall. I'll monitor temp to see how it goes.
At the end of the day I could spend the rest of my life tinkering with it but it's time to call it done and get on with using it - ain't gunna live forever!
thanks for looking
Niko
