An unremittingly foul day, with incessant rain and wind. Slating was out of the question, on safety grounds as much as anything else, and Mal and I spent the day inside. I installed the wiring for the ground-floor ring-main and cooker the finished off the first-floor central-heating plumbing - all except one bedroom. Meanwhile Mal had been putting the drainage for the downstairs WC and basin together, then installing a section of sub-floor, insulation and chipboard flooring to enable him to build the downstairs partitions. I diverted from the first-floor central-heating to run the pipes in for the radiators in the part of the house where he was working.
In the process of my toils I managed to snap two big drill-bits, and resolved to spend a bit more on quality tools in future.
The roof is leaking like a sieve, and the velux I was working on yesterday, which is now partially flashed, was literally pouring water onto the bedroom floor. I rigged up a bit of membrane and some waste-pipe to divert the flow into a bucket, which was full to within an inch of the top by tea-time!
As I write it has stopped raining. Let's hope it stays that way! No pictures because I forgot my the camera.
