The story so far!

A dry day, cold but no wind, just the thing for having two holes put in our roof! This was the state of play first thing in the morning.
Yes, there is a large oak tree that overhangs our house from a neighbouring garden. And, yes, there are always plenty of leaves to clear. There is a tree preservation order on all the trees around us because we are in a conservation area of former woodland. (But the leaves make great compost.)
The kitchen was ready for action.
But in the early afternoon work stopped. What's this? It was because the main workman had fallen off a ladder. WHAT!!! Off he went to hospital to check whether he's broken any ribs. The cover is on. I hope it will be able to be removed tomorrow so that work can proceed.
Now that one of the windows has been put in place on the ceiling it looks rather small.
We are all scrunched up in a corner of the kitchen. it will be good when it's done! Hey ho.

  1. Oh dear, I hope the workman is o.k. and can continue with the job in hand. The Velux windows should make a big difference. When Doug and his late wife bought this house he had Velux type windows installed in the bathroom and hall and they make an enormous difference. I often check that the light isn't on when passing the bathroom as there is so much light.
