We just finished putting up the last rafter before it got completely dark last night. What an accomplishment. First roof I’ve ever done! We haveClinton from the states who has plenty of building experience which was a great help.

It’s been a while since we updated the blog. We have had some rain so we had to cover the house for a few days so that meant I could go to lisbon for three days of teaching of the dharma with his holiness the Dalai Lama. When i got back we had the new straight ridgpoles and we put them up and fixed them to the roof plate we put on that the rafters are fixed to. We have put up the ridgpole and have put up fifteen rafters so far. Now we have put a few up it’s going a lot quicker.
Obrigado o Clinton e Candis o que nos ajudaram com o telhado.
A big thank you to Clinton and Candis for helping with the roof.
We’ve just finished the three layers now.
The last week we have been cuttting the rafters and other and the rest of the wood necessary for the roof as the bales had still not been delivered due to the holidays. We were surprised yesterday when we got a phone call at eight in the morning saying the bales were on there way. So yesterday and today we started building the three bales high second floor walls. This is what it looks like.
