Progress on the insulation

Progress is pretty much stalled at the moment as we are waiting for the roofer to install the two additional A frames. He dropped off the wood and his scaffold around 3 weeks ago, saying he would be back tomorrow. I sent nagging email a few days ago and he has promised to be here tomorrow - we shall see. We are also taking the opportunity of a break in the never ending rain to get a bit of outside work done, so we do have other stuff to get on with.
We have done four out of fourteen sections - except the very top of two of them where we need to leave the ridge pole accessible so we can support it a bit when we get on to doing work on the walls.

You can't see the insulated bit very clearly because of the enormous number of scaffolds. You will notice that in these photos alone you scan see three different one. One belongs to the roofer, another we have borrowed and the other (the smallest) is ours. We have borrowed another one (because the first has to go back) but it is not quite big enough, so we have bitten the bullet and bought a proper professional one for ourselves (second hand from leboncoin - v useful website). We have not put it together yet but it goes up to 8m tall or can be 2 sections of 4m also. The sections are 3m long which is good as they will be enough to span the stair well allowing us to do above it.
