Back to roofing......and our sharp learning curve. We realised today after much pondering that to make sure the next stage of the roofing sits as flat as possible we need to grade the beams from front to back so that the differences in size between them is minimal.

Anyway, we started by laying them out in matching pairs which seemed an ideal time to paint them with the Fondo wood protector. Somehow this took all day - how did that happen?
