Had a bit of work to see to in the morning, and made it over to the plot around 10:30. Spent most of the day trying to polish off the remaining plumbing and downstairs electrics, while Mal, who had tired of plumbing by the time I arrived, started closing up walls in the bathrooms and bedrooms.
Anna had been dispatched to Berwick to look at bathroom components and to collect Ben from the station. She arrived just after lunch and was dispatched again, this time for petrol for the gennie, which had run out shortly after I arrived.
Ben set to work nailing joist-hangers, and showed a much handier hammer-arm that his left-handed brother!
The wind that blew up last night while I was putting up polythene sheeting had carried on through the night and a section of the membrane was flapping. Ben and I fixed it back with battens, and I did the same to some roof-membrane on the north side. I'm quite touchy about the roof now that the straw is in but the slating isn't finished. The slates have arrived from Doves, so as soon as I have enough scaffold I'll get cracking again.
