At the start of the month we set off early on Saturday to go and collect all our rafters from 2 places in London. Which were weirdly the cheapest places to get wood from in the country!
Unfortunately, the weight distribution wasn't quite right after picking up the second load, which meant the Landie had 2 epic snaking episodes (frightening the life out of me) before we pulled over and had to sort it out. Sorting it out meant un hitching from the trailer, sending me to find a Wicks and pick up some saws, then spending the next 2 hours in a lay by just before the m25 turn off unloading all the wood, sawing it down to the right size and re-loading. Which did the trick. We set off from home at 5am that day and returned home at just before 5pm. We slept well that night.
The roof progress is going well. Andy has especially made some headway over the last few days, as he has had time off. With the dark & cold nights, he has not been overly enthused so he's done a little here and there. Weekends throughout this month have unfortuenty not been readily available due to various parties and dinners with friends and families.
That's it then! No more updates til next year.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to yours from ours! Bring on 2017 - the year we finally finish the house!
