Weatherproof - with rooms taking shape

Yesterday, the final bit of weatherproofing was finished. The lead flashing joining the new roof to the existing gable was mortared in - in a pretty industrial strength sort of way - to stop any water penetration there. So far it has stood the test of 24 hours of proper Skye rain without problem.

That allowed the boarding of the internal wall below it to be done, adding to the recent progress inside. Over the past few days the joiners have been strapping walls, building partitions, shoving masses and masses of insulation of various sorts into every possible gap, mounting plasterboard and pulling through cables ready for the electricians' second fix next week. For the first time we can really see the internal divisions - you can no longer walk between rooms without using the doorways!

The biggest excitement this afternoon was reserved for the appearance of the shell of Angela's big storage cupboard off the utility room. It's huge - and she loves it!
