It's too hot!

No, really, it is! We've had temperatures in the low 30s C yesterday and today, which isn't really conducive to strenuous building work. As it happens the past few days have been somewhat less strenuously about getting ready to erect the roof and start work on the master bedroom.

So today I moved out of the front of the house and am now relegated to the back half. Space is therefore very much at a premium but it's manageable, largely because I have been able to store a lot of furniture in the summer house.

The roofers spent a hot day out in the sun sorting four tons of Westmorland green slate into various sizes ready for installation next week. And the roof ridge line was reinstated where the two chimneys were removed last week.

Tomorrow the roof trusses will be installed. Soon we will be needing to get the plumber and electrician involved as work starts on the inside.
