The mornings are just about light enough for a photograph before work now. More rafters have been added, working out from the corner on the left of the picture.

More felting and battoning. Last night there was a power cut so as well as having half a roof, there was no heating either. The temperature in the kitchen was 4.9 deg C. Had to get  the wood burner going. Burnt up some rafter offcuts while eating and listening to Radio 4 in the dark.
