Weekend work.

So...after Will managed to get the deck roof up on his own while I was at work I was thinking it would be a doddle to get the kitchen ceiling up with the two of us...not so. As usual there has been much wailing and gnashing of teeth and after two days it is still not finished...but most of it has been done. We have clad the ceiling in galvanised tin 'mini coro'. Here are some before and after pics...

The 'Book Cave' Book of the Week.

A surprise roof!

So...yesterday I returned home from a long day in the 'Book Cave' to find this...

The Cheeseman had been busy. I don't know how he got the 5 metre sheets of tin up there on his own without injuring himself but our outdoor room is looking good.

Moving forward again.

So...yesterday we had a big delivery of tin for the deck roof and the kitchen ceilingand this morning, before we both headed off to work this afternoon, we got the batons up on the deck roof. It is good to be moving forward again on the house building...

Caliban lives!

So...it has been a long time since we have seen Caliban, our one eyed possum. I was beginning to think he was gone for good but tonight he turned up again in the pear tree outside Blue Moon. While I was taking this picture Will heard the pump going down by Frogknot and we discovered that 'something' had turned on the shower tap down behind Frogknot. The shower head was hanging down, which it does when possums use it to get down off the roof to try and get at the soap. 'Something' must have then clambered further down switching on the tap. The pump must have been going for hours. We have lost quite a bit of water from the shed tank, something that we could do without at this present time, but it is still about 3/4 full. I wonder if Caliban knows anything about it? He wasn't saying anything though if he did.
