    The Views on this video is 3500 so 3500 ppl heard that a Ceiling should be installed before a Roof. So This idea is False as Ceilings are an Interior Finish, Interiors are installed after the Exterior Works are complete. The ROOF is the Exterior so if you want a Sarking to be exposed then the T-111 goes on top of the Rafters. The Rafter Works seem neatly done spaced at 2feet centers. The T-11 is next on this. Then DPM Damp Proof Membrane which can be Felting. Next is the Laths. Then Sheeting using Fillets.and Galvanized Washered Roofing Screws. There is supposed to be Approved Drawings sealed by Local Municipal Council with these and more Details. You mention Workmen which seems to mean you have no reputable Contractor.

      Thanks for this detailed explanation, like I said I told the roofer how I wanted the inside ceiling to look when finished, and that was after he sent me the pictures,he told me that it’s too late . I was expecting all of what you’re describing here thank you! I’ll be sure to pin this comment 👆🏼

    Your house is moving forward nicely. I love the roof. it's not what you wanted, but it's still beautiful. It makes me wonder how the one you actually wanted would have looked... all in all, very nice indeed.🎉🎉🎉🎉

    This is one of the very reason why Property 888 was developed, not only for the several innovations it seeks to bring to market, but to secure vetted contractors, vetted developers, vetted lawyers, with their profile to be listed on the website strategic partners page, so that members of the diaspora as well as locals, are not subjected to the many ills of building or purchasing their home. Jamaica is not exactly the place for high levels of innovation, but one should not give up.

I had to return some stuff and when I looked on the receipt it shows he got credit based on how much stuff he orderd from Home Deopt and although it's on my credit card he got the creit on his account. He had $17,000 worth of credit. He was trying to get me to purchase the higher price stuff so he would get credit. He wasted so much material . Makes be upset. Now I know and I order the stuff myself. If it's short I'll go back and get more. We have to watch the budget. They don't care.

    Work men are not designers. I had problems in the USA with them too. They know how to do the work but the actually design you have to be there to direct it. It's best to have somone who specialised in roof to do it.
