EEEK!! The Cement mixers are breeding and somebody has nicked our roof

Not much has been happening on the house over the last week as we have had Helen´s son Ben staying with us so we have been doing all the touristy things. Including 2 trips up to the Roque to show Ben round both the Gallilao and the GranTeCan.
Today Helen took the car to drop Ben off at the Airport, so after I finished work at the school I took the bus into Santa Cruz to meet up with Helen to do some shopping. When we got home we discovered that the builder had arrived that morning and started on the work to put a new roof on the water tank and he had brought all his tools along and put them next to ours.
So far all he has removed the old wooden roof and removed the top part of the wall read to put on the roof. Tomorrow he should be creating the doorway through and prepearing to lay the roof.

The old wooden roof has been removedAnd materials to construct the new roof ready and waiting and a shot from the side showing where the preperation has started
