And this is how we finished the day, with still quite a lot more to do. I don't think I've been more tired after a day's work for yonks. I was exhausted. Lady M, I'm pleased to say, was as fresh as a daisy. Women are so much stronger. She and I did all the work by ourselves, and it was a stinking hot day.
This picture is just to show that Cro is no different from all other tradesmen, craftsmen, car washers etc. 'Builders cleavage' is alive and well, and happily exhibiting in the south of France.
I've just seen that rain is forecast. So if anyone knows of a rain dance that will hold off the possibility of a downpour over the next few days; I'd be extremely grateful. I'm putting the music on now; lots of dancing PLEASE.

Looking good! Builder's bum and quince in the same shot - what more could a man ask for.
You're up early Tom. Not another insomniac?
Today I have to install the 'sweep' to the bottom edge of the roof (does that make sense?). And get everything covered with a silver, insulating, water-proof, multi-layer film. All that before the rains arrive. I'd better get on with it!!
Lovely to see these photos, you're making great progress. But how long do I have to keep on dancing for, I'm all out of breath?
I went back to bed again. It is very warm here this weekend - late summer temperatures, but no guarantee of dry weather, I'm afraid. Good luck.
Thanks Sue. It seems to be working so far.
Are you going to use it to park your quad bike, Cro?
No. It'll become home to my collection of Fedora Style Tweed Panama Hats. Of which I have many!
I'm jealous - again...
I can't believe you're almost done! I'm impressed with you and Lady M getting so much done this fast. Looks great!
I've finished my day's work and given in to common sense. I've decided to leave everything open to the elements; if it all gets wet it'll simply have to dry out again. So, please, if you're still dancing the non-rain-shuffle, you may now STOP. But thank you anyway!
I shall post a pic of today's work on tomorrow's blog.
Very impressed - looking good! What are you going to do with all that extra wood?
Now there's a thought!!
It is coming along really well. The roof makes such a difference.
