Working at the Peak!

More slates have been re-positioned to make the whole roof lie flatter. Amazingly, the barn stayed dry and all the slates stayed intact during the 8 weeks of crazy Welsh mountain weather.





A friend visiting from Washington state came up for the weekend and helped lug the slates up to the peak. It is so wonderful having extra help as it keeps the momentum going. I myself am too short to be able to push the slates up to the top.

The front side is just about finished. A builder friend was surprised that none of the slates had to be cut to fit. We had painstakingly measure each slate and put them is piles that equalled the length of the roof. The attention to that detail paid off.
