Well the first major disaster struck last week with the non-delivery of the roof trusses. Despite weeks of careful planning and a carefully promised delivery date the trusses failed to show on Wednesday. This is a pain for many reasons, primarily that Dave had the whole wall plate up and ready, and secondly as any delays now means extra weeks for the scaffold and therefore unnecessary costs.
The finished wall plate, ready and waiting for the trusses.
The Manitou loader that was so kindly lent to me by one of my colleagues, Jason Fox. Thanks Jase.
Unfortunately it seems that the truss designer had promised us one thing but hadn't communicated this to the factory. However to be fair, once the mistake was realised and after many heated phone calls the operations manager agreed to get his lads in over the weekend to push Paul's trusses out on Monday, with ours following on the Wednesday.
Whilst the roof has been delayed, Mark and Dave have finished the front door and the rear window openings.

I bet the weather being so nice has been a fantastic advantage as everything goes up. Honestly, the brickwork looks great and having the roofing going up is going to really move things forward as well. I look forward to seeing the slates go on :)
