The mudlark is happy on the roof.

The Tasmanian Oak ceiling in the alfresco area is almost complete - just some beads to put over the 45s. The ceiling is flat, except for the coffered part in the middle. And there are sections above the doors.
The gyprock is being put in. View above from the dining room, to the pantry, and laundry door.

The roof trusses were delivered on Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday morning a small crane with a fantastic reach was onsite from about 8.30 to lunchtime lifting them onto the roof, with Bert, Troy, Mick, Ed and one other person put them in place. By the end of the day the primary job was done, but about a week is needed to complete it: ceiling joists, hangers, triple grips, and the coffered ceiling. Next is the facia, gutters and roof sheets.
The dam had about 200mm of water in it on Friday. By Wednesday it was completely full, about 1700mm deep. The rainfall during that time was only just over 50mm.
Lots of water is still standing in the paddocks; not very deep though.
