Started yesterday by inventing a “scaffolding” system that allowed us to get on and off the roof without having to do so from the bottom.<\/p>\n

Set up the whole system to accommodate all the rest of the tiles, since it would be a massive pain to get them on the roof after we no longer had access from the lower scaffolding. My little tables have been such a blessing. But they have now served their purpose and one got flung from the roof today.<\/p>\n
