J&J Roofing came last Saturday and had the standing seam aluminium roof on in no time. They will come back to finish the flashings and gutters when K & I have put up and painted the fascia boards. The studio is watertight, on the top side at least.
Ali came home to help with the concrete floor. K&I had a busy day on Sunday cleaning the damp proof membrane, putting in the insulation (150mm polystyrene), cutting an fitting the steel mesh, and various other bits. Ali arrived around midnight and we saw him in the morning. Jewson's failed to have our bull float ready this morning, and the concrete arrived early, so we had a mild panic. The conveyor didn't want to work, and we didn't want try to push even 2 m3 of concrete up from the driveway. Fortunately, it all finally worked and we got the concrete in with the help of Paul. Final float was at about 7PM, well after dark and just before a welcome roast chicken and sticky toffee pudding.
