Feeling Vertiginous

16 - 21 June 2018

The third ceiling section proceeded exactly like the previous two, with the only difference being that we are away from the diagonal wall, so the sections have a straight cut along the lower edge now.

 Bored of painting boards

 Another cool day - chance to get the strimmer out and clear this area in front of the house where we bring the long batons out to treat and paint outdoors.  Less thistles while wrestling long pieces of wood is good.

Oops!  We'd just finished installing the third section when Dave reported some dizziness.  Not good when working at height.  We went to the ENT specialist in Lefkas town and Dave was grounded for a week while he recovers.

We had the measurements for section D (now lettered, as there are more than enough numbers around with all the measuring), so we cut and painted all the batons and boards.  Then a few days later, when Dave was feeling a bit more steady, we measured sections E, F and G, so we can cut and paint and stack the fittings.

These sections are through the middle of the room anyway, so it will be better to have everything ready before  moving the scaffolding as the cutting and manoeuvring of large wood will become almost impossible with the towers in the centre.

From the back - sections A, B and C finished.  Sections D, E, F and G have all had their top cross-piece installed as it's easy for me to reach from the stepladder on the mezzanine - with Dave hovering around convinced I'm not going to screw them in tight enough to the rafters!
