Oops!

Remember this lovely roof from last Friday? Well, it's not there any more. The reasons are more complicated than I fancy explaining here - not that you'd want to read them even if I did - but it's to do with having missed out a wee step that will be needed to allow for a welted joint in the lead cladding. So tonight it looks like this.

Tomorrow, I'm told, the problem will be solved.

Meanwhile work is carrying on indoors, with the addition of masses more timber to frame up the light wells from the roof windows (which apparently are going to have sensors on them so that they will close automatically whenever it starts to rain - how cool is that?), together with lots more pieces that will eventually support the plasterboard.

We have been having discussions about some of the ancillary works as well - the repositioning of the fences and entranceway, the possible replacement of the gate by a cattle grid, the re-profiling of the driveway and garden to match the new floor levels. There's lots to think about...
