Roofs and the straw that almost broke the camel's back

---

It's Friday and I'm taking the weekend off or was. Today should have been relatively relaxing chasing up suppliers etc however the best laid plans etc.

Firstly the joists are now all in, the northside of the roof has sarking, the wall for the bales is nearly there and we have a temporary floor upstairs to provide some storage for the straw. See photos (I left just after Dan, Ewan and Malcolm started sarking - thanks guys).

We also managed to get some sample bales which unfortunately proved to be rather loosely packed.

After much chasing (telephoning around) we managed to find a local farmer who is willing to rebale any which require it (thanks Hamish and David). So it looks like we might just about get started with the walls next weekend as planned (weather permitting).

Meantime Wendy has been working all day then spending her evenings sorting out the bits and bobs for our roof windows and solar heating.

Anyway this was really an excuse to add some photos.
