I’ve just taken a look at our weather forecast for the rest of today and the coming week. We had another cold night last night and the water system in my caravan froze again. However, the temperature is forecast to reach 10 degrees C a bit later today and not fall below 7 degrees overnight, but with some strong south-easterly gusts. This should see the end of the (freezing) cold snap.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow the forecast is for a top temperature of 15 degrees C with strong gusts that will continue into Tuesday, but that’s excellent news because the weather will be perfect for the time of year for work to continue on my house. On Tuesday there could be some light rain, but with a top temperature of 13 degrees C, there shouldn’t be anything to interfere too much with progress.<\/p>\n
They’re forecasting periods of light rain during most of the working day on Wednesday with low cloud and a temperature of 12 degrees C but as the woodwork for the roof will by then have to be in the open to allow it to be installed, there’s nothing that can be done about it and I think that it won’t be enough to disrupt proceedings. Unfortunately however, there will be more of the same and a temperature of 10 degrees C on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Friday is forecast to be dry with a temperature yet again of 15 degrees C and I think that by then all of the roof trusses should be in position. If it’s left uncovered, the woodwork could become damp if the light showers forecast for Christmas Eve materialise, but it should dry out again on Christmas Day which is forecast to be dry and sunny with a top temperature yet again of 15 degrees C.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what will happen after that, either weather or work-wise. It’s traditional in France only to take Christmas Day as holiday, but I guess that my workmen will be off for at least Monday 26th in lieu of Christmas Day falling on a Sunday. What weather will greet them when they do return nobody knows for sure, but hopefully the roof tiles will be delivered during the coming week and the waterproof plastic membrane that will cover the woodwork, installed with the woodwork fairly dry before they go on.<\/p>\n
Who knows, if work goes well, they might even be able to get the membrane fitted by Friday before they go off for a few days break, which would be nice as it would mean that the house would no longer be subject to the extremes of weather that we can undoubtedly expect after Christmas and going into the new year. Yet again, we’ll have to wait and see…<\/p>\n
And tell you what… if it stays warm I’ll even be able to get on to fixing my Savannah’s brakes, so I can get that back up in the air as well. It’s been too cold to do the job in the open barn but at around 15 degrees C it’ll be a pleasure. Well, almost \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
