Alan: Well what a day today (Thursday) – the building team, Barry, our specialist builder, & Mark and I (the labour force) were joined by Helen, Liz & Moira (the chain gang).While the boys finished felting and battening one side of the roof the girls moved tiles closer to the “coal face” ready for us to start tiling the roof. While we were doing this the local builders were finishing off the internal walls and started on the gable ends. The chain gang started loading us out and after a bit of instruction from Barry the tiling began – Mark & I couldn’t believe how easy Barry made it look but we soon got the hang of it and by 3 in the afternoon we had laid 500 roof tiles and one side of the roof was complete.
A great step forward today and a really good “team” effort – bring on tomorrow!!!
