Day 4 - Access Denied

After all the excitement of the start of this project, Friday brought a shock withdrawal.  The next phase of laying floor joists involved covering over the loft hatch with joists and fire-proof insulation.  Now we have no access to our loft, and no way to see how it's progressing.  The only way in is via the scaffolding and the hole in the roof.  At the end of the day the builders left the roof carefully sealed and waterproof so as not to let it leak over the weekend.  That was good, but it did mean that we had no way of inspecting progress.  Oh the suspense!  They did take a few pictures for us so we can see what's going on.  It won't be until after the new year, when they take off the back slope to build the dormer that we can get in and see what's really going on.
