Here come the boards!

Jan (my father in law) and Stan (my Uncle in law) came over for the past two days to show me some samples of what it takes to be a builder. First day and a half we spent wrapping the house up in insulation, nailing in special nails into the studs to hold the paper in place - at times balancing precariously at the top of the roof on top of a ladder - but we managed to do it with our limbs remaining firmly in place. I have even learnt how to hammer with my left hand..

Here's Jan cutting up the insulation paper for the next section.


Here's Mitch and Molly inspecting the work - and Uncle Stan's in the background.


Here I am with my Kharki cowboy hat - trying to nail in.

Finally today after getting the middle section of insulation done on the bedroom side, I got to nail in my first board onto the house - here's the proof:



Here's a shot of the workers


Jan and Stan are coming back again tomorrow to do some more boards - I'm out at Doveton so will see what I can do when I get home. More pics to come - rock on.
