[Dougie:] Right, so anyway, we've got as far as that and your... everything seems alright eh?
[Valerie:] That's okay.
[Dougie:] Right. So it's quite simple... there's no... as far as my bit goes it is erm... erm... it's just really the... as I say, the roof design's going to... be used to design the roof for us. Er, struts and whatever just for strengthening.
[Valerie:] Mm.
[Dougie:] Erm... it'll be basically the same shape as what you've seen in that.
[Valerie:] Mhm.
[Dougie:] Like that.
[Valerie:] Mhm.
[Dougie:] That'll be.
[Valerie:] Yeah, the roof. And that's quite a nice
[Dougie:] Yeah.
[Valerie:] shape isn't it? I was impressed by it.
[Dougie:] Aye, I quite like it myself. And er... of course there'll be the, the... obviously the strengtheners will come through... cannot be divided up accordingly.
[Valerie:] Mm.
[Dougie:] Usually it's divided up to suit the... the mi er... tt, panels that's below.
[Valerie:] Right.
[Dougie:] Er,th these actually run in line.
[Valerie:] Mhm.
[Dougie:] Right? Say that one's in again, and er, er... and that, it's cos you're, you're relying on that being the... the support to, to support it. Okay?
[Valerie:] Mm.
[Dougie:] These, these are all... erm laid for your reinforcements so that
[Valerie:] Right.
[Dougie:] they can carry the weight. It's, really th as I say, the design is all down to the size but... it... it's because of the snow fall that could go in, that can li th obviously because it's sloped like it cannae lie on it but
[Valerie:] Right.
[Dougie:] if it happens to give or... here, and it does nay get away right
[Valerie:] Right.
[Dougie:] there are so many to think, obviously, at some point that they may cover up so... again, that's where it's designed... the
[Valerie:] Aha.
[Dougie:] this guy does it.
[Valerie:] Right.
[Dougie:] Just straight, that's his living... he designs roofs
[Valerie:] Right.
[Dougie:] for, for this type of conservatory that we're paying, so that's why we have to rely on him to do it.
