OMG We've kinda started

So it started with creation of concrete pads so that we can put in a 6 meter steel to support the roof. This allows us to pull the wall down below the steel and then lay one level floor as part of the ground-works.

The steel will be positioned a week tomorrow. Until then the roof appears to be balancing precariously on a couple of remaining stones. The worst thing that could happen is that my builder could go on holiday and a strong Northerly wind might kick in...

'Further outbreaks of rain are expected on Friday, these gradually clearing during the afternoon with most places dry by evening. It will feel very cool in the brisk northerly winds'... No postcard from the builder yet either'....!
