Spraying is done!

There seem to have been a lot of titles recently with exclamation marks in the title. Maybe I should have put more than one for this title as it feels more remarkable. It has taken a lot longer than we hoped (what a surprise!) to get the roof timber cleaned up ready for the spraying. The spraying is a hard work and horrible job, but much quicker than the preparation - as is the case for many things.

Now we need to fill various holes around the edge of the roof between the walls and the roof and then get the eves insulated before we progress to actually putting up insulation on the roof. Plenty of work still to go but a relief to have this stage done.

We timed the spraying to coincide with a night we are staying at friends (to avoid either not drinking or drink driving, it is hard at Christmas being the only driver). Although the house doesn't smell after the spraying, the Xylethene is pretty poisonous and it recommends you stay away overnight. 

Fortunately the weather is very nice today (it was cold windy and snowing yesterday) so we have been able to open all the windows and eat lunch outside.
