Day 17: Dry!
We have a roof. The beams are in, as is almost all the tongue & groove boarding. The carpenters stopped just short of the bit where the glass panes go in: they are next to come. One or two of the beams had the staining wash off in the rain, and will need redoing in situ - all were anyway due for a second coat. There are also some muddy traces that will need attention.
Some concern about the damp course that on examination may not be intact all the way round, and on the effect of damp inside the back wall, which has a couple of inches of empty space due to the roof supports.
Handed over a large cheque. Hoping to use bank transfer in future.
Amusing incident: Gavin (SoB) could not find his car keys, despite D & E's best help. 'You'll have to run home' says D. That's to Newmarket. Turns out that he tossed them in through the car window, and his dog sat on them, locking the car. Window was still open, fortunately.
