Where the diagonal rafters meet the vertical walls there is a gap, the thickness of the wood frame (12cm), so to make a neat join with the ceiling, we are putting boards of tongue-and-groove in these spaces, after filling them with insulation. Otherwise there would be uninsulated gaps all along the edge of the roof. We've done this all round the house, as we go along, and the six in the Music Room are the last to do, hurrah!

Dave does the first three back boards, from left, including the tricky one round the chimney
Then he started to feel the vertigo again, so he cut the boards and I fitted them, but not off a ladder, I set up the small scaffolding to make it easier.
Meanwhile, the unpainted batons and useful bits of trim are treated ready for use
Then we set up the scaffolding ready for Friday. There has been no Lefkogaia volunteering for a couple of weeks, as the electricity supply to the warehouse has needed updating. Better for us, as we have an extra day to work, but not good for Lefkada's recycling.
