Batten down the hatches…..

It is possible to work for a few hours each morning before it gets too hot. Of course the plan each night is to get up early the next morning but somehow it never seems to happen! 09:00 is about the earliest I manage to start working, with the assistant up to an hour later!

Current job is to brick up 3 of the four hatches into the attic to allow the room construction to continue. Keeping one hatch free until the last possible moment as its about the only way to get long pieces of wood up there.

One hatch is finished:

The next just needs the top filling in:

The third hatch is planned for tomorrow!

The velux blinds are doing a good job in keeping the sun out of the attic, problem is we haven’t got them all done yet!
