Wednesday/Thursday, 25/26 February 2009

On Wednesday Paul had a hospital appointment and whilst we were out we picked up the lights which we'd ordered. Meanwhile, more work was carried out on the kitchen and sun room roofs - the timbers were fixed, covered with Tyvec and some battens fixed in place. Fred continued painting the rendering.

This morning the Velux windows were installed and more work carried out to join the new roof to the existing store room roof. Fred continued painting the rendering.











It was discovered the store room roof had only one layer of felt and this was puddling badly so Mike constructed a drainage system with lead and new felt flashings to drain this roof onto the new slate roof. A extra layer of felt will eventually be applied to the store room. Fred continued painting the rendering.















The battening is now complete and the Velux windows installed.




And Fred continued painting the rendering! Poor Fred, you have to feel sorry for him. Things will be better next week, the top coat is a different colour!
