What a great day! Richard and Rob finally completed the timber work for the roof of the second pavilion. Our highest point was reached today, so of course Richard had to scale the structure to place a small bough at the apex – our topping out gesture.

I know traditionally (Scandinavian?) we are supposed to use an evergreen tree, but we used what we had to hand, a eucalypt branch, to acknowledge the achievement of getting all the structure in place, without mishap, and to pay tribute to the beautiful bush in which we are building our home.

So it is full steam ahead with the roof as soon as possible as we work towards getting both buildings water tight. For updates on our building progress, see Building in progress.
