Comment: Interior in the late afternoon.
As a result of a slight misunderstanding, the Douglas Fir ceiling joists which were to be exposed under the ceiling, were delivered not planed, so I offered to plane them all using Mr Mazieres large electric Makita hand plane.

Wednesday morning saw the completion of the main roof tiling.

The two carpenters working on the fascia of the roof light projection.

Fixing the flashings ('solins') around the roof light.

View in opposite direction of the interior before floors and partitions.  I wish we could leave it all as an open plan !

Fixing the bouquet of flowers to the ridge after the roof liling was completed at about 5 pm on Wednesday.  This is a cremaillaire We followed with a few beers before everyone left.

Mr Marcelin Mazieres and his two carpenters (plus one other) who put up the whole frame and roof in 8 working days ! Better photograph to follow later.
