Trussed up

January 31st, 2008 - Posted in eco-building - by Sarah|

We’ve been working very hard over the last week and it’s also been baking hot every day.  As a result we haven’t had much energy left for updating the blog in the evening.  We’ve made lots of progress though and have reached a milestone of sorts as our trusses are all up on the roof and fixed in place.  We’ll update the details when we have more energy for it but in the meantime enjoy the photos…

By popular demand here is a picture of Cardigan post-shearing. This was taken the following day when she was still a bit wary and I couldn’t get her to pose on her own. Socks and Mittens are on the left and right respectively.

As a reminder, this is what she looked like before…
