Raising the roof . . .

A beautiful, clear day dawned on Friday and spite of frost sparkling everywhere, it turned out to be a warm day. The front wall was finished and the door wall framed after work and all was in readiness for a roof raising. The question was, how to do it! My brother Ted was over bright and early on Saturday morning and since no one else was available, we set about how to raise the roof ourselves. We decided to go Egyptian and use the ramp method. With two extension ladders propped against the front wall and a lot of pushing and pulling, the roof soon found it's place.
