Now the trusses are in place, we can get on with getting the roof done.  Stu had Monday off, recovering from a lads weekend away, leaving Wayne and I to get the roof felt laid onto the trusses, fixing the timber baton as we went.  As the new build we are working on is pretty exposed location wise, I always knew it was going to be fun and games trying to get the roof felt laid, and that’s how it turned out.  With a strong wind blowing in across the fields, it’s a good thing Wayne is an experienced sailor, as it was more akin to getting the sails up and down rather than trying to lay roof felt!  After a long day, we had the roof felt down, and the baton on.

For the rest of the week it was a case of getting the two gable ends all finished off, and the finishing touches to the chimney carried out.  So I kept loading out the blocks for Wayne, with Stu’s assistance when he wasn’t keeping Wayne’s boards loaded out with muck.  By then end of play Thursday, Wayne had everything finished.  On the Good Friday, Stu and I did a half day to make a start on getting the facia, soffit and guttering into place prior to tiling.
