Roof is done done

The update this evening is going to be short and sweet as it has been a simple day and I've not that much to go on about.

Flattening a section of metal

Sifting the sand

Working on the roof join

Mixing up cement

Bekir working on metal

Cementing the ridge tiles in place

Roundup on its way

Rosie with Sally

The task today was the get the roof finally done, not nearly done as it actually was yesterday. Bekir was working very hard to get all the metal in place, and there was also a lot of tiles being cut (I could hear the grinder going) all day. The other task for the day, once the metal edges were all fully in place, was to cement the ridge tiles and this was a task for Sally, with Halil bringing cement and tidying and sweeping otherwise. Once all the roof work was complete Bekir strapped his pump on his back and went around the whole land finding brambles and spraying them. Hopefully we will get on top of these. I am tempted to try and dig them out next year, though - chemicals aren't my favourite thing. At the end of my working day I had a lovely time in the pool with Rosie (she has been outside a lot today, sitting on a rug in the shade and being very joyful - it has been lovely to hear) and then we went onto the balcony for the very end of the working day.

And so that's it; short and sweet but it's great because now that roof is complete. Tomorrow will be the inside light fitting under the roof, the two downpipes from the new roof and the one round the corner, and then inside I hope before the men have their two week break.

Thanks for reading.
