Shortly after 8 o'clock in the morning our friend Óli arrived and he and Ingólfur went up on the roof starting to remove the old iron, throwing large chunks down into the garden. They mostly took good care of not hitting my flowers, just one a panel slipped and hit some tulips, but those had already finished flowering, so not too much damage done there. 
When Bjössi and Jói arrived things went really fast and the roof was stripped in no time. After lunchbreak Þorvaldur, the contractor, arrived and when the last remains of the chimney had been removed they started to cover all unnecessary holes in the roof with new boards and replacing old, broken boards. The aim of today was to be finished putting the roofing felt in place. And they made it! Think they were that scared of me they didn't even take many breaks.
