A tale of two roofs

Published by Jonathan on

The latest maintenance day saw further progress on the Weaving House roof. A new delivery of sweet chestnut logs meant the team could swing into ‘full factory production’ mode to help keep the roofers supplied.

The Thursday team have been working hard on the thatching of the Roundhouse roof.

Thatching the Roundhouse progresses nicely.

Last Tuesday we had a good team working on the shingles. It was the first day that we felt it was really Autumn and although the sun was shining it was distinctly chilly in the shade. In between throwing the ball for Gemma, everyone applied themselves to the preparation and fixing of the shingles. Thanks to everyone and we look forward to seeing you again on site next week.
