Woohoo! Actual progress this time. 6 more boxes unpacked! We are starting to plan out our storage so there's places for our least used rubbish to live. On this note, we have bought a set of shelves for our cupboard under the (many) stairs, so our tools are a lot more organised. This is great because we keep getting more tools.

We also needed our lead flashing replacing. The roofers kept the rolls of lead in our house overnight and I thought that they were putting on a show with all the huffing and puffing it took to get them inside. Nope! We were amazed by how much heavier they were than we expected! Just a small roll weighed more than a person! 91kg!

I had an exciting trip up the scaffolding, which was extremely nerve-wracking. The scaffolding itself was very solid, but the roofers seemed to have found the bounciest ladders possible to scale it. While I was up there holding on tight and Sean was showing me what they'd done, some of the other roofers were perfectly happy to sit on the handrail of the scaffolding with nothing behind them 😬 Luckily we have our access hatch if we ever need to go up again.

Because 🎉🎉🎉 tools are our favourite 🎉🎉🎉 I can't resist sharing one of the damp-proofer's tools. In order to be able to add a damp-proofing slurry layer to a previous layer you need to have a rough surface for it to key into. Normally they would just use a paintbrush and stipple the surface and call it good. Apparently that wouldn't be enough for here so they brought the big guns. Specifically this flick-slurry-all-over-the-place gun.

After seeing what a state they'd left the entire room in after using that tool they did explain that it's easier to remove the excessively flicked slurry once it's dried, but I still wasn't pleased by having all our nice new electrics slurry-flicked.

It's done! The cable has been terminated on the other end in our sitting room, and everything is nice and tidy (haha). The router will live here permanently (which needs to live near the phone line), and anything else we want to be centrally placed in the house. This is not going to be its final form, we're on the lookout for a console table.

All the servers that were living in the music room have now been moved to the office, though still on the floor in a mess. We might get a similar console table for them to live on, or just stick them in the cupboard. It has moved far enough down the priority list that we're leaving it be for now.

We also went on a really lovely walk with some of our more local friends. It turns out that a house with stairs doesn't immediately turn you into a champion walker. Maybe more stairs are required? Some of them came back for a picnic after and shared their planty knowledge with us. We failed to take it all in but came away with "If you're not sure it's probably a rose" as a start. I think we'll need to make some kind of garden map with labels.
