Oak, no joke!


I'll tell you what the bricks are for later. (My lawyers tell me that levels of suspense will be within legal limits.) In the meantime, Richard arrived carrying some big bits of oak this morning. We'll be removing all the tie bars (which tie the roof together so that it doesn't fall down flat under its own weight) and replacing two of them with some beautiful oak ones which will remain exposed in the roofspace. The new oak one is here balanced on the old one. There's a big shelf to go over the bath too.

Oooo, I'm getting jealous already. My house is feeling truly shabby by comparison.
p.s. if I spend the rest of the day singing Oh-oh the oakey cokey I'll have to come round and thump you.
