RAISING THE ROOF: Gisborne Hiabs crew installed a full roof skeleton on to a two- storey house in Grey Street yesterday. Gisborne Hiabs owner-operator Justin Martin said raising the whole roof at once was a cost-effective and safe way of doing it. The project required an “immense amount” of planning.“It took a lot of planning between the building company (ABC Construction), the scaffolding and the roofing crowd and us. It was a 14-point lift, so it meant getting all the rigging to work together and not overload other points. The timber trusses weighed in at 3.6 tonnes. It went really well in the end. It’s just much safer because you haven’t got guys in there all the time.” The old roof was taken off yesterday morning as soon as the contractors got the green light. Mr Martin said the scaffolders were putting the edge protection back on as soon as the new roof touched down. The roofers came in to make it weather-proof, and the iron was going on first thing this morning.

LAMB

Covid-19 cases remain at a low level (300-500 cases per day) in France and Germany after the reopening of restaurants and international borders. This is an encouraging sign for lamb consumption, however, it may take some time for the tourists to return. These markets are purchasing French racks and lamb short loins for the restaurant market, albeit at reduced levels and in mixed loads. Heavier racks are trading for particularly low prices, although there are less of these around since average lamb carcass weights are down on last year due to drought. It is encouraging to see more enquiry from the EU as lockdowns ease, however, the pricing, particularly for the lamb racks, have a long way to recover. This will be putting a lot of pressure on lamb export returns and will limit the amount of upside in lamb schedules.
