Good we finished the roof yesterday! During the night it started pouring down. Soooo much rain! 
Ingólfur used the day for backing and after having coffee with our helpers from the day before we went for a drive to have a look at our mares and Aðalsteinn.
At the intersection to Reykjahverfi we met a pair of hitchhikers looking to get a ride in direction to Mývatn. As the weather was that bad we decided to just go all the way instead of leaving them at the next intersection where we intended to go to Aðaldalur. So Mývatn it was, a lovely drive with interesting conversation.
On the way back we stopped at the field with our mares and saw that Sæla kept the stallion company whilst the other mares seemed not to be interested in him at all at the moment. We'll see if we get her back in foal.

And up they went again today! Now it was time to put the new corrugated iron panels, which we had already ordered to length last year, in place.
Not so easy when you have no crane to lift them up, but we found a good solution for that. The guys did a brilliant job and in no time things were just ready! Could hardly believe it. Next thing on our schedule is to paint the house...

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.
