temporary roof



Before any work can start on restoring the stone on the walls and floor within the courtyard, it needs to be given time to dry. This won't happen if rain water can still get to the stone (yes it does rain in Malta). Dad and I have built a 3m x 3m wooden frame and fitted a corrugated sheet on top to act as a temporary ceiling.





This night the winds picked up and dad worried we had not secured the roof to the wall properly so when we went back this morning, I was thinking the worst but the structure had not moved. We had hardly finished securing the roof when the heavens opened. It worked beautifully!
