Sky

The last couple of days saw some significant destruction. Yesterday we went out for half a day and when we returned we found 5 meters of roof had been removed together with a skylight. This meant that part of our ceiling was no longer supported so there appeared six columns in the middle of our living area.

Today they ripped off a bit more roof and we took delivery of our steel beams. These were delivered by a skillful crane operator avoiding trees, my prize roses (not really), our power cable and the the building. During the delivery, Rozita was told to stay out of the living area in case a steel beam fell through the ceiling…better to be safe.

At the end of each day the builders wrap the missing roof in tarpaulins and we hope for dry weather…
