6th to 12th December 2004

Ridge tiles arrived and all in place - the roof is now completed - hurrah!

This week has been spent finishing off the external insulation boxes, felting them and then battening.  On top of the battens we'll put something like masterboard and then render on top, giving a ventilation cavity between render and panelvent.  We've one small section of battens to finish on Monday.

Other stuff has been painting soffits, bargeboards and so on- hampered by the cold weather making some of the gloss bloom overnight leaving us guessing when to paint and when not.

Next week is going to be rushing to try and get some of the scaffold down as soon as.  It's been up 10 weeks more than the initial 8 week hire and this is costing. We should also see some windows going in and guttering going up.
