Great days work today. Jon, Elly, Stephen, Emma and Carol along to work with me. The gables were erected, the ridgepole, some purlins, nearly all the wattling done and the daube begun. Fantastic.

Tim and Teresa came over we had a lovely lunch with Teresa's sister Fiona. The chain saw I'd hired was impossible to start, but Tim hand sawed. Thanks Tim. xx
