Well, it could've been finished today but I stuffed it up! Mea culpa and all that! I ordered the ridge-capping 200mm too short by not allowing for the overhang of the battens. The new one won't be ready until Monday.
I'm back inside now, inches away from the blazing fireplace while Padma is still at the weekly Bitch & Stitch meeting in the local church hall. I've made myself a ginger & lemon tea and started on the tax returns - mine, Padma's, and the SMSF's - to beat the end-of-financial-year rush.
P.S. If you're wondering, the four plants I placed on either side back and front are orange trumpet vines.
