Up the roof

The brickwork is all but finished now. The brickie has only got above the back windows to go.

I bought some structafloor to put up in the ceiling so I would have a platform to work on when I'm putting up the sisalation. First I tried to put the whole boards up. They're 3600 x 900 mm (ie. 4 x 1 yd) and they weigh a tonne. I tried to lift them up into the ceiling by myself, but that was impossible. I wish I had taken a photo so you could see it. Instead I cut a few 300 mm wide planks to use as catwalk and I cut a wider 600 mm plank into two work platforms.

Anyway, my mate Dave came around and gave me a hand putting up some more sisalation. Now I've used most of one roll. I'll probably need another two or three rolls to do the whole roof, but at least it's starting to look like I've made some progress.
