more wall, and a some roof!!!

happy easter all. we have been sooo busy. Lev finally got a chance to start on the roof. He spent a day just prepping for the big job. Then removed a quarter of the roof, one flat side. The tin that came down was so corroded and weak it wasn't funny. Then Lev put down some insualtion on the part that they hadn't already done. Then he laid the sisalation and finally put the tin back on. It all took 3 days. It took a bit extra because there was a rotten beam that needed replacing and he did some wiring because our new kitchen is going to go underneath. Here's the pics.

old rotten tin.





you can see the rotten beam... this is before insulation. lev did some wiring.

added insulation.

sisalation added.





new tin.


So lev's currently having a few beers with his friend after his big job. Well deserved. Meanwhile I had a stab at painting our front wall which Lev finished building. I painted the slats brown and it looks great. We've had a few issues with the green paint of the render. Firstly a certain person bought interior paint, not exterior (we're going to use it anyway, it's too expensive) then secondly, it sort of didn't turn out to be the right colour. But shh, don't tell anyone. Maybe no one will notice. It's just so hard to pick the right colour based on those stupid little cards against a rendered wall.

night session.

julia's turn.



nearly finished!
