After the wall head, Sunday required some significant clearing out. Jaimin managed to clear the West side out fairly quickly but the East side was done on the wettest most dull grey Scottish day ever. Thankfully Ali was on hand to help and suffer alongside in the wet.

| Stuck. |
During this episode, "somehow" they managed to get the Volvo stuck at the bottom of the hill. Long story short is that is stayed the night there and the next day Jaimin went back, used the dropped chimney blocks to make a "track" and then managed to get out. :-)

| Almost free... |
Following a conversation with the roofer, and a few others, mentioned that using a cement pump while the roof is off would be sensible. So we've decided to hold on the roofing, and go for that plan. Cue a lot a shopping and some more deliveries - sand, rebar, insulation, 1200ga DPM and tape...
One of the consequences is that we have to get the level of the shower drain sorted, so very depressingly Jaimin has had to dig out the gravel from the French Drain and make a hole through the soil to the bathroom.
Plan is to whack and lay sand this week, lay the DPM and insulation (and rebar) this weekend, and get the concrete in... The weather could be a big issue though while the DPM is installed. And it will probably be delayed...
