Scaffolders arrived today to erect the first floor. Quite a challenge with the tightness of the plot! I had an easy day- fixing insulation to the timber frame, and mending the ripped bits. Cutting off the carry straps off the frames( my least favorite job so far- owing to my fear and distrust of ladders- eek!). Followed by in dad's words "making the temporary frindow frames" ( no beer involved this time- just exhaustion- physical and mental this time!) On a personal note- very tempted to be the charlie dimmock of the building world as women's bras aren't the friend of broken ribs....Don't worry- I will not be following through- my upper lip has recently been starched!
