We had an interrupted morning with the rain coming in, quite a consistent downfall, averaging about four millimetres per hour, for four hours, making a lake of water collected inside our house. Having discovered that our automatic water pump had started making odd groaning and mechanical noises, it seems that it is already worn out only after a few months of operation. So we decided to buy a much better quality pump and a larger bore water pipe to transport the water over to the rain soakaway inlet.
So We put aside the morning to allow the wood to dry off as much as possible before we started work after lunch.
We resumed on along the front of the building with wall “A” (the Great Room and Kitchen), did the little sticking out piece of the extension which is wall “B” and then along wall “C” (the front door and Entertainment Room).

Wall-C-Lower-boards
Tomorrow, we hope to get the final two wall sections done (wall “D” and “E”) and we will be back to where we started. After that, we will do the framework for the doors and windows, putting in the lintels etc. before we put on the second layer of the cement boards.
