Up at 5am .... 2 hours on her iphone .... now it's 8:30am and she has been in the bath for 90mins. I use this time for work on the accounts. No-one else is up yet.
Midday
Kaylia and Krew went to the lake and haven't returned yet. Naomi has stayed in bed ... Yay! She is very sick but feels guilty about being sick.

I have been outside making lots of noise .... all the posts are now trimmed to the correct height and are ready for the beams and braces to be fitted.
This photo shows 3 beams sitting there. The white beam is the correct length but the other two have to be lengthened by about 3 metres each
The plan is to place lengths of steel channel across the beams to allow each of the timber beams under the building to slide across. I have 4 chain blocks to provide the moving force.
The damage to the house from the storm on 22nd September has not been repaired yet. The insurance company moved very quickly ..... but the building company contracted to do the work are really dragging their feet. Their boss visited yesterday and he agreed that the builders all seem to think the job is too hard.
I have just rung the insurance company and asked if they would pay a cash settlement on the claim and then I can arrange the repairs myself.
2:30pm
We've had such a mild start to summer that today is a bit of a shock..... It's only 36 but it feels HOT!
