That smoke alarm. Doesn’t deserve first mention today but I just saw it above. I think the battery that came with it was done. Beeping and carrying on.

What a day. Deidre and I worked from somewhere near 10 til a bit before 9. Spent.

So many things achieved, I’m sure I’ll forget some. Sealed up the window. Chopped a heap of the great pile of trees that I’ve accumulated and stowed them in the converted wood bin. Arranged the last of the batts. I really hate dealing with those batts. Put the remaining full length ceiling panels on.

Deidre swept the shack out and it looked great. Tidied up the bricks that were lying round outside and binned all of the pink batts wrappers which were littering up the place.

Yesterday I had it at about 18, which felt too warm. Today, 16-17, was about right.

We replaced the panels which have the electrical cords behind, I’m now covering up for the shack warming. I’ll come back and finish the electricals some other time.

Started panelling the skylight. This was fun and looked good. Won’t take too much more work to finish this off.

I hammered my fingers. Couple of times. They don’t feel the way they should right now.

Gave some consideration to curtains. Had difficulty working out where the lighting will go.

The roof. That punk shouldn’t leak anymore. Justin’s roof thing was by far the best. The lead molded nicely. Deidre beat the corrugs out of some iron in order to use it as flashing. I attached that all eventually. It was difficult because I was beating through multiple layers and I didn’t always know where the wood was. Looks really good up there now.

There’s a bit to do before Saturday night but I think it’s going to be looking semi finished.
