Run out of netting so back to the roof

Today has been another good day of progress, though it has rained pretty much all day so it hasn't been quite as lovely to be outside in.

First thing the men were out into the car port again putting up as much more of the bird netting as they could. They ran out before finishing it all and unfortunately the shop hadn't yet taken its order that was expected to arrive today. With that job done for now they headed up to the roof and Bekir continued to work on the end window wall, cleaning up the plaster around the windows and making it look nice. Halil was inside the crawl space on the left painting the ceiling in there, cramped up. I think they really enjoyed getting outside to the carport for a bit. With the windows done Bekir then began working on the edge above the doorway; he fitted a wooden batten and then secured the plaster edging into place before sealing it all up with plaster. Finally he was able to build a step and cement it in by the door; this should hopefully prevent some of the little leaks we have had by this door during very heavy rain. At some point today he also fitted plastic bags over the top of the grafts (sorry for getting that wrong yesterday) to protect them from too much rain.

After work I had a lovely nap on my recliner then had a lot of fun with Rosie on the balcony. She jumped on her trampoline then we played "cafe owner" in her play house before throwing the bean bags for a bit that Grandma bought her for Christmas and finally she did some drawing. It was great.
