We have clouds in our ceiling!

Bikeman came home after visiting the house yesterday, very excited that we have 'clouds in our ceiling'. They had finished all of the roof insulation of the back half of the house by last night, and this morning when I was there they were finishing the bracing. Had hit a minor snag though, in that they thought the ceilings were only 3m but they were 3.2 or 3.6 or something and as a result they needed to wait until next week until they had scaffolding for the higher area. Here is the view down the hallway to Zali's room (excuse the dodgy pics, taken from my mobile. Will take proper camera up tomorrow so will have some better ones by the end of the weekend). The plasterers were wobbling around on these cool stilt things to put up the insulation and metal battens. Bikeman was a little sad that he wasn't doing the plastering, I think for this reason alone. He would have liked to have a go on the stilts!!! Plastering man begrudgingly posed for the photo. I think he thought I was a nutter. Tomorrow we're going to be finishing the external doors (laundry and garage) and putting on all the door fittings for them. If time we'll also start on the eaves, putting up noggins and getting them ready for plaster. And then having a break in the evening, the boys are off to the footy and I'm off to Mrs R's for a quiet wine or three. Can't wait!
