… we’ve covered all of the back of the roof now.

All of the insulation is on and you can see that the waterproof plywood is on there covering it up. Most of the waterproof membrane is on too, and half of the slating is done.

It was hard work mauling everything over the top of the roof and with the weather the way it was, it called for frequent pauses that at one stage had us both dozing off.

Terry, having worked on the insulation which reflected brightly with the sun, developed a bit of a headache and asked if I could produce any tablets. Nothing like that round at my place so I wandered off to the Dutch neighbours’

Not a big choice in the medicine cupboard but some unidentified pills looked hopeful.
“They look like Tera’s “Morning After” pills” suggested Tijas, casting aspertions on his sister’s character.
“Actually, I think they might be stuff that Tera keeps for her horses”added Guus.
“Take them anyway” suggested Lieneke. “They might work”

But judging by the way that Terry was running up and down the ladder and swinging from the rafters in the afternoon, I’m sorely tempted to go round tomorrow to see if Guus and Lieneke have any more.
