Sunday 20 Jan 2013
Another rainy day, we had gone to lie down and read/sleep in the afternoon when, to our surprise, two cars turned up, with Constantine and his wife Maria, and Yiannis the woodworker. They were here to decide what still needed to be done to the structure and agree what wood to order. A slight lack of communication means that the side support for the wide eaves we need (to cover the cob) was not left on the cross beam at the north edge of the bedroom. As a result, we need to have external pole supports at the back, which could be removed once the cob is in place to hold the eaves there. We raised a few points, and discussed rooflights and thresholds, while the rain drizzled gently around us, and then they left again.
We are hoping to have two rooflights, hopefully Velux, in the north side of the roof. To bring in light upstairs and to allow hot air to escape in summer. In the UK, the basic price of the windows we want is around £280 including flashing and insulation. In Greece, the price is well over 500 euros for the same equipment. We are exploring ways of getting the skylights from the UK.
