Glacial-speed bale-raising

28 April 2015

We spent three days putting in one or two bales each day, with all the splitting and shaping and tying-in and tea-drinking and thinking about it that was involved, then we had to run some errands in Lefkas on Monday, and on Tuesday some bike parts came that Dave was waiting for - so the wall continued half-built.

 But with the scaffolding just able to get in at this corner, I thought I would tackle the difficult problem of making a neat seal against the roof.

This is the answer - a complicated structure incorporating a rafter board, a corner piece and an upright baton to hold a soffit board - there was nothing else it could be fixed to.  These then have membrane and plastering net attached to them so that the plaster will make a good waterproof connection with the boards.
