To top it all off, before we had the big shower I'd pulled back the tarpaulin to let the floor dry (overnight rain had seeped under the edges) which meant that the half-hour of mopping the tarpaulin and drying the floor was all wasted - the shower totally soaked the exposed floor. Stress - it has to dry before putting back the tarpaulin but rain is forecast for most of the week, and it wasn't drying because it was cloudy... aaarrrrgghhhh!
Anyway, I eventually managed to find a clear patch of weather and filled in another section of the roof, which you'll see here. But after that, although the weather kept fine, I decided that enough was enough and came back in. If I'd stayed out I would have caused an accident or just chopped the whole lot down with an axe!
One last thing: we decided to loose-fit the vent to see what it looked like in the gable end. Answer: very nice. Unfortunately a gust of wind then blew it out of the hole, down to the ground (10 feet below) and broke the sides off. Nice end to a nice day!
