Thanks folks, we managed to salvage summat from the wreck didn't we?!
O.k., I've just spent a very pleasant afternoon with the sun on me back, thatching the stores roof....Life can be hell..
I cut the string to length, then untwisted it a bit and butting each strand up to the next worked along the card roof with quick drying, all purps. clear glue. Reasonably straight forward, but boring as hell! Me back's nice and brown mind......
Here's the finished roof. I might have a fiddle with it later, we'll see. Go easy, it's my first go at it!

You can just make out the small infill pieces of wall, these will blend in with subsequent coats of paint. I'm not bothered about the slightly different stonework, 'cos as Si commented, it looks like a modification......and I think it adds a bit of variation to the building.
That's the build up to the present, so next I will add the doors, windows, posts and shutters etc. Now I have the two structures I can also make a start on the ground work.
Thanks again for all your positive comments,
Ron
