The ridge is on the horizon!

It has been a very long and difficult job getting the last couple of rows in place. We are having to cut slates to fit as there are not many left to choose from. The question is, will we run out of reclaimed slates before we finish? According to our calculations, we will just have enough!

Fitting around the roof light and stove pipe has been tricky as well. The next challenge is....how do we balance buckets of mortar on the ridge so we can secure the ridge tiles?



A debate has begun on what job will be next....rebuild the pig sty? repoint? install new windows and door? One thing it will not be for quite a while is slating a diminishing course roof!
