| Joists In! |
Here we go ........ Part 2 of the Pig 'Ritz' construction and this should be easy going .... there's only one chief on this part of the job.
The replacement joists went in pretty easily with a bit of tweaking, and were nicely secured ready to take the roofing 'felt', woven bitumen paper really. The existing roof needed a little adjustment but that was no challenge and all lined up nicely.

| Paper & Fascia on! |
The paper went on easily and was secured with clump nails at the top and sides. Fascia board and batons fitted, all that was left to do was to fit the tiles. It was worth 'tweaking' the existing roof, the new roof tiles fitted nicely.

| Tiles on! |

| Ready for inspection ... Sir!! |
A little bit of tidying up and we're ready for inspection. Inspection passed, I've installed an outside light above the side gate. It now just remains for me to face off the side gate with galvanised tin, dress off the side and front fascias, build a little door between sty and pen, install a means to protect the piglets from the sow when she rolls and the job'll be a real good 'un. Since writing this I've had a former Brit pig keeper look at the sty and all's good ..... we're just about ready to roll. I hope you're looking forward to meeting Bacon and Crackling as much as me.
