Stuart has been working away on the roof, with occasional help from Andy. It's taken longer to prepare the roof than he had first imagined, partly because the existing roof is all wonky! It's not been just a case of laying battens on the roof and screwing them down because each one had to be packed out and leveled. Also, at the base of the roof it curves out, and that proved to be made of solid tar which had to be cut away where each batten lay and that took ages. It hasn't helped that the rain arrived in the last couple of weeks. I bought some polythene to try and keep the boards dry but it's not that effective - tears easily. I didn't expect it to be so thin when I ordered it!

On one rainy day Stuart fitted a new lintel over the front door and took off the porch canopy in preparation for our new wider front door (which incidentally has been delayed as the factory in Germany are slightly changing the colour)
Meanwhile I have been getting cables from A-B, putting insulation under the floorboards in preparation for the underfloor heating, and today continued getting the office ready for the plasterers (which involved moving the kitchen sink into the middle of the room so I could put plasterboard up below the window
