Wood, wood glorious wood - yes, we have so much wood that Jewson's are buying it back off us.

We have joists, and roof trusses and perlins and cladding.

These glorious looking chunks on the right are going to be the exposed beams in the ceiling, put up in pairs ( thanks Norman for that idea). I worried that Mikes little light looking walls were not going to be stong enough to hold them up but its all right - they will have their own supports. Whew.

Ghastly day yesterday - we had hoped to get a wall up but force 90 sweeping round the village Hall put paid to that. Hopefully today, with Sandy's help, (thank goodness, more strength) , we might get a wall up.

So we had in depth conversations about where to put the decking supports. My criteria for doing this job were to have the dosh in place (thanks Nationwide) and not to lose the wisteria. Looks like it's going to be touch and go with the latter. 10 years of nurturing!! I will fight for it.
