Worklist:

Create ridge sheets for the engine shed and fix to roof.

Paint roof.

3D print house windows and door.

Investigate roof to stone wall lead flashings.

Geoff made the engine shed metal ridge units from thin aluminium sheet and glued them in place on the roof that Stephen had made many months ago. 

Geoff had produced a set of double-hung sash window parts and a front door for the smaller brick building.

Upper and lower sashes are glued back-to-back.

The parts required a small amount of fettling to fit, but looked great once in place.

Stephen spent the session cleaning up the ridge tiles on the cottages, but moved on to researching the lead flashings that would be required on each roof abutment. Some modern-day materials solutions would save some time, but wouldn't be right, so a long session of work was inevitable.

After looking at the interior of the cottages the previous week, it was decided that some wallpaper might be nice on the few areas where walls could be seen (the tunnel behind cuts most walls off). After some research and prep work, a few contenders emerged.

They will also be used in the house at the bottom of the slope. What about the office? More research.....
