Steels for the Loft Roof - With a Crane

This morning four steels went up into the roof.  It was all over in 20 minutes! And yes we are living here through the dust and noise.

Yup the planes still flew, the road remained open and the birds squawked.  

See the magpie nest in the tree to the right?

And another ...

All closed up again.  Good as more rain forecast.

Sadly I missed the shot of the worker sliding down the outside rails of the ladder.

Then a Skip (dumpster) 'On the Go' came to cart stuff away, and the heavens opened just after I took this photo. The skip never left the lorry* (truck, see * below).

But still the 'bedroom balcony' (see description below) is full.

Here's what hubby calls his bedroom balcony - aka the staging area built out over the pavement (sidewalk in American) as the front garden has plants and the back isn't very big or accessible.

It is currently filled with junk - at least no one can see in (unless on the 'bedroom balcony')!

This is our second lot of scaffolding, as we restored our windows last autumn (now with insect screens).  We've been doing other more miror 'repairs' to the house from the tenants too, so a busy time.

* per Wikipedia: Truck is used in American English, and is common in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa, while lorry is the equivalent in British English, and is the usual term in countries like Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore and India.
