Pride comes before a fall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are up this morning ready to finish the first stage of batoning the building and things are going well, it doesn’t take us long to get the west gable done and now we are going to do the east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are just discussing how well it’s going and feeling quite pleased with ourselves when Pete starts noticing the fleecy fibres on the membrane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh no, we have put the membrane on inside out! We are devastated and feel very anxious, and stupid. We made exactly the same mistake on the shed and for some reason, probably double compensating or some such thing, Pete was so confident that the writing on the mambrane faces out. Wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have taken time out to have lunch, to take a step back from what we have done and Pete is giving Andrew a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew has just confirmed what we already knew – we have to dismantle the batoning, take off the membrane and put it back the right side out and refix the batons. If we don’t it would be like us wearing a Goretex jacket inside out, really sweaty, and could have dire consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a plan that involves reusing most of the membrane and dismantling and sorting the problem in sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve just fixed the north elevation and it didn’t take too long, two-and-a-half hours. The worst thing was that it has been raining and we are soaked, other than that it went well. We now reckon we can rectify our mistake in about a day or a bit more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not good but it’s more of a setback than a disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upward and onward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
