SOME LIKE IT HOT


It seems only a moment since it was snowing.
Now I need the shade and a little privacy doesn't go amiss.
No roof and no rain.

The right height for the windows proved controversial
and went right up to board level

It's helpful to be able to walk through the walls.

Ground floor walls now sheathed
- getting everything square and vertical has been the main problem.
64 first floor joists arrive - the task for May.
The manager of the local timber merchant is becoming quite friendly, rubbing his hands at the prospect of cladding, staircases windows and the rest. Those planks of 16mm OSB are delivered to my mother's double car-port for sizing, where of course Monte the delivery man gets tea and ginger cake. Connections have been made as word gets about here. On balance, I see prices going up.
