This week's work

Huge amount of work done again this week, in 4 days actually, as it is the Midsummer weekend and whole of Finland is partying hard :-) Tonight is the night the sun never goes down, and from tomorrow on the days will start slowly getting shorter again... Hyvää Juhannusta kaikille!

The roof is on

Since the trusses went up the troops have been working on the roof, lot of work there as some angles (or laps) had to be built etc. but now we have the roof under laid and waterproof, another big job done!

In the meantime Mrs B. has been busy on the job front; went for an interview on Tuesday and started working the next day, in a furniture store, how convenient :-)

Next phase on the build started straight away, weatherproofed gypsum boards and insulation are going on the walls (Mr B will be busy with some thousands of screws to be fixed). The blocks for the chimney also arrived so once the walls are covered that can be laid. 

All quiet this weekend on site as our Bob the Builder (Ukki) is on a well deserved weekend break in Lithuania. Back to work on Monday! 

 This is going to be the boys playroom downstairs!

Up in the Air

So big day ahead today, these will have to go up there somewhere... Last week was spent finishing up the frame, supporting walls and few other bits and pieces, and we are ready to go with the trusses.

Around 11:45 the first truss goes up and Mrs B. just arrives on site in time to capture it on camera, perfect timing all round!

A rain drop on the camera lens ruined the next few shots, it wasn't really as foggy as it looks... Few showers during the day but that didn't slow down our troops.  Mr B. was up in the heights on scaffolding. 

4pm and here it is, trusses in their place!
