On to the wall cladding


 Thursday 27 January 2011

With rain forecast for Friday, we got in another afternoon at the shed, finishing the final wall (which has most of the plumbing), and starting a bit of the wooden cladding. 

I'd forgotten how much all that hammering hurts.



In answer to a silent call for help, Mike arrived, walking the dog, and soon took over my end of the operation.

They got about halfway down the back wall, before we ran out of time.  Dave was teaching guitar to Lilias' son, Patrick, and then we were due back in Lefkas for another meeting with Constantine to try to finalise the plans.

By 10.30 pm we were all pretty happy with how the cottage looked on paper, so it's time to give it to the structural engineers to see whether it can actually be done.  That could take a month or so, and then planning will take another 6-8 weeks minimum, apparently. 



A hardy soul, braving the cold:
