I’m nearly finished the western wall, however I can only work on it until about noon at the latest because that’s when the sun finally makes an appearance.

Today is very warm, it’s already 30 C and we still have two weeks left of winter and so I would assume that temperatures of 40 C will not be out of the question this year. Next door has the air conditioning on as we speak, their house has no insulation whereas mine has and for me it’s OK.

I was a bit nervous up on the trestles this morn, it feels a long way up and I’ll be very happy to get this wall done. I’m now working with the large aluminium trestle and I have to move it a metre at a time and so I’m getting quite the workout running up and down umpteen times. I’ve got the barge cap left to do and the top half metre of the wall.

After that’s complete I’ll move to the south western corner to finish the gutter and downpipe and then everything I think is in reach from the ground.
