It was a nice easy three day week for us this week as we finally got round to taking some well deserved holiday time off.  On Monday while I and Dane ran in all the roof trusses and the strapping, one of Richard’s brickies was on site to build up and finish off the two gable ends.
Tuesday was fun and games with the weather going into rain mode to make amends for all the sunny days we have had of late.  We managed to get the facia and soffit on and the roof felted, and then from around 10.30 onwards it was on/off with heavy showers.  We managed to get some of the roof batons fixed on, but as the rain shower kept coming it was getting more and more of a risk to be on a roof.  So at around 14.00 we decided to call it a day.
For our final day of the week Dane set about laying the slate roof tiles while I gave the site a good tidy up to get everything back ship shape.  Dane virtually got all the tiles run in apart from a few cuts that were needed, and then we took down our trestles and scaffold boards so the site was clear in our absence.  Dane was off to cook himself in Egypt for a week while I was moving house and having a staycation, all the rage apparently! As long as I am not working, I don’t mind where I am.
