Today, in a breezy cold wind, we moved the polystyrene foam strips to inside the house as we need the location for the upcoming arrival of a pallet of 12mm B-BB grade plywood boards. These sheets are going to be the exposed (hence pretty B-BB visual quality) roof covering around the outside edge of the roof, out along the eves, the various overhanging porches and out to the gutters.

We moved the ‘Wendy house’ covering, doing a bit of reinforcing of the frame and using a new full size palette to their new location, ready for the stack of materials. We will have to move each sheet separately as the delivery lorry will not be able to get down our Loke and it wont have a crane to help us, so it will be a case of man-handling all 75 sheets up on the main road and using our large flatbed trolley, to transport them down the Loke in 2 or 3 trips, depending on the weight. The total weight of the 75 sheets is over 1½ tons!!

After lunch, we decided to do a lovely job of having a bonfire! We have been accumulating lots of trugs and bags of rubbish so it was time to get the fire barrel going and get rid of some of the rubbish, especially the heap of OSB bits and pieces and other junk slated for the fire.
Blazing-Incinerator
It was a lovely bonfire and very hot! The barrel is a very good incinerator and concentrates the heat into drying out the old rubbish and burning it after a few minutes.
Next week, we have the forecast of heavy snow arriving from Russia so it will definitely be the case of working in the workshop and hopefully Shaun will be able to do some heavier work. The weekend will be a good chance for more recovery of his muscles!!
