But I was a bit worried about the snow load on the longer temporary floor joists, and also, it was going to freeze for the next few days and I know that fresh snow is much easier to clear than crusty frozen snow. So I shoveled off the whole fecking building. Not exactly wasted time and effort, but did rather feel like struggling back up to zero.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2489\" alt=\"IMG_20160304_114340\" src=\"http:\/\/donatedhouse.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_20160304_114340.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it did mean that rather than a constantly dripping, soggy building, I had a dry, usable building the next day when we got on with roofing, which was a real blessing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2490\" alt=\"IMG_20160305_120820\" src=\"http:\/\/donatedhouse.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_20160305_120820.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Working through the weekends means that Anna gets to help.

I&#8217;m really not looking forward to all those tiles going on, now that I&#8217;ve done a share of spidering around up there. Very uncomfy. But still, I am very, very much looking forward to having a dry interior space!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2492\" alt=\"IMG_20160305_165401\" src=\"http:\/\/donatedhouse.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_20160305_165401.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And the process is going fairly fast now, so although we didn&#8217;t meet our goal of finishing the back today, and therefore we are unlikely to finish the whole roof by tomorrow, which I&#8217;d hoped to do, at least we are working quite productively and that feels pretty good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, at the very least, the view is beautiful in the snow.
