Ceiling for bull-nose sleepout
G'day,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I've trawled the forum for an answer to this one for a while so I thought it's time to take some photo's and dive in.
I bought a 1920's Queenslander with a botched reno job in it. I've managed to fix up most of the mistakes myself but I'm at a loss on how to finish off the sleep-out - in particular the ceiling. As per the photographs, it is a 90 degree wraparound, full bullnose bare tin roof in fair-nick. Has broad sections of unsupported tin (such is the style of the time) but is in decent shape.
I wondered if anyone could recommend how I would go about fixing a roof in this space. I'm under no illusions - this will be a job for a pro but I wanted to get a feel for what was possible.Some friends have said I should get added bracing put on (to bring it up to modern tin code) and have a plaster mob curve boards along the bullnose rafters (over some sarking/thinsulation). Apparently this is difficult, particularly for them to handle the 90 degree turn of the bullnose angle.
Others have suggested having straight ceiling joists put in (as per the red line on photo 2) and fixing plasterboard to this - probably cheaper and easier to handle the 90 degree turn.
At this stage I'm looking for suggestions and limitations - any input greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Diz
