Finally the Sun came out

Gradually the waters have gone down, and the builders have been able to carry on. Yesterday (Wednesday) only JP and the apprentice Alexi turned up, and they began levelling the top of the front wall. We hadn't realised that it sloped so much!

Cyrille thinks that this part of the house that they're working on now originally was two seperate houses, hence the differences in levels, wall heights and beam construction.

Today the sun finally shone and we had a full complement of men working on the roof. Things were obviously complicated because I saw men standing watching Cyrille calculating, on a number of occasions. Cyrille has had to replace some of the joists and he is doing his best to level it all up but he says that he thinks that there will have to be two different parts of the roof because the differences are two big to lose.

I took advantage of the good weather to stack all of the good tiles that had come off of the roof. I want to use them to retile the barn ..... whenever I have the time!
