  • I unfortunately miss stepped coming down off a stool on friday and rolled my ankle. Sitting in A&E for 4 hours on friday night with my heavily pregnant wife pushing me around in a wheelchair was all sorts of fun. Torn ligament apparently but doc said keep it moving and it will heal on its own so the show continued, albeit at a much reduced rate. Thankfully my dad came to assist so once I'd hauled myself up onto the roof it's where I stayed.

    Got the main layer of 18mm OSB down, vapour barrier in and insulation done. Had to build a little upstand for the skylight to achieve 150mm clearance from the final roof elevation, just need to screw the frame down to it, but will save that for later as I first need to put down another layer of OSB, 11mm this time to protect the insulation and then it will be ready for roof covering and fascias. After that I can chill a bit more as I won't have to worry about covering it with a tarp every day to protect it from the rain.

  • Gonna be cool once it's finished. What color will you paint it? (Sorry if it's been debated already, was lazy to read back.)
    Wish you a fast recovery!

    Get yourself a physio referral. It might heal on its own, but the rehab will be faster!
