So the story continues ....

At 1 o'clock the crane arrived and was positioned in the front garden.

Six men were needed to carry the roof light to its lifting cradle 

Then six men watched 1 man working .....

and finally the roof light started to rise ......

up and over to the other side of the house ....

Then the tricky bit with telephone contact to control the lowering  ....

until it was almost in position

Phew! It worked!!

The rain came down later in the day, by which time the glass roof was secure.

Quite an exciting day!
