Chris Bisson has been a big part of Emmerdale since he first joined the soap in 2009, playing the role of Jai Sharma. While his onscreen life in the famous village is full of drama, thankfully away from the camera things are much more easygoing for Chris. In reality, he lives a relatively quieter life with his wife and two children.
With that, let's take a further look into Chris Bisson's DIY project that he is doing off-screen – building his own house, a project he started last November... Latest update Taking to Instagram earlier this week, Chris shared an update about where the house build was at. He revealed that work on the roof has started and the ridge steel has also been put in.
He captioned his post: "Finally, it's starting to look like a proper house.
The ridge steel went in smoothly, and then the joiners started on the roof. It was exciting to see. "I could stare at the roof timbers for ages.
The rafters are a work of art, and it's a shame they are ultimately hidden.
Then, there were a hell of a lot of joists hangers to be nailed in, and I had to call for reinforcements to help with that job.
Fortunately, my uncle came to the rescue."The felt and batten felt like a big moment, giving us some weather protection.
Then finally the big day.... some slates went on. "We've used Spanish slate on our roof.
We did look at Welsh slate, but it's very expensive these days. We ideally like to source locally, but with the price of everything going through the roof (no pun intended), it was too much."The rooflights were fitted while we were slating - more on that next time.
Then, the Insulation King was back to fit the solid insulation between the rafters. Wow, that was a job and a half! I was constantly picking expanding foam
