Week 3 of July has been a mammoth week. High winds delayed them being able to get up there until wednesday. Mark said the wood they removed from this section was actually the worst in the whole roof (we thought the other side of the roof was the worst to start with as it was there that the roof was sagging). He said that he could hear the beams cracking behind him as he stepped on them. He also almost feel off the roof at one point in his haste to get done. Decided rushing wasn't worth it after that.
You'll notice that Kara's skinny window has been removed. It needed a lintle in the top as a structural crack had developed.
They actually do sit down and rest momentarily during their 12 hour days:) Here they are surveying the pile of timber they removed from the last part on the main roof.
This is as far as they got by friday. This picture is taken from the side of the house. On the left you can see the next section of roof that will need replacing. We'd hoped it would be ok but is also filled will bora, as are some of the window frames. We're presently living in that section of the house. It extends the length of the building.
Weekend are always our clean up time. Here Mark and J have loaded the old timber to take to the dump.
