Strawbale House

This blog is intended to chart our progress through the self-build process, from half-hearted plot-hunting through to completion of the build. The twist is that we're building the house from timber and straw (hence the blog title).

Slating

Difficult to express what an amazingly beautiful day it was. Warm and sunny, with the moon being the only spec of non-blue in the sky all day. Spent the whole day on the roof, and almost reached the top. Felt pretty sun-frazzled by knock-off, which is pretty good for October! Started cold and misty (see photos), and London and Gloucester had rain, which merely enhanced the pleasure!
Anna was on site for a few hours, painting the steel post sockets with sticky bitumous goo. She also did a sterling job sweeping upstairs in readiness for the taper, whenever he shows up. Seems to be call-screening...
