3 weeks in and it was up with a temporary roof, and the side was under way. Then the weather really kicked in with rain on most days, so it has taken a while to get the side up to roof level.

Fingers crossed that there will be a few days without rain, so the poor builders can get the roof on the side. As this roof has to connect to the existing slope, a few clear days are needed.

We're getting impatient to see how the house looks with twin peaks.
