The roof goes on (and on and on...)

After a flying start by the roofers, things have slowed down somewhat.   The major delay was because the slab for the garage roof was delayed, so once the slab was laid, the brickwork could happen, and then the trusses over the garage could be installed. 
The sheeting is now going on over the main house, so it is starting to look more and more like a house!
In the meantime, while the roofers have been busy(ish), the builder has got on with the other tasks at hand, which fortunately don't need a roof in order to do them!  Like, rhinoliting (I have NO idea how to spell that!) which, for the uninformed, is a very fine, smooth layer of plaster over the exisiting plaster.
They also fixed up the wall & pillar at our entrance to the house from the road; the floor screeding is happening; the electrician is busy with wiring; foundations for our retaining walls are being dug etc. etc. etc.
So, 3 steps forward, 2 steps back still means an overall forward motion!
