So the roofing.
After many weeks of waiting, arrived, and then today the weather was challenging, but we just carried on.
Mickey was around to help as soon as I let him know.
So the first 5.5 meter sheet was a bit of fun, getting our rhythm
Then it went a lot easier and faster.
Unfortunately the self tapping screws (report on them in a bit) do not like to self tap through the 0.7mm sheet steel of the roofing sheets.
But we carried on.
With the wind, and the length of these sheets, getting them upright, and then onto the roof was to say the least, interesting.
Progress
Mickey, as he weighs as much as a packet of matches, was bouncing around on top.
Last sheet I used was a 3.0 meter sheet in stead of the 2.7 meter ordered. As they sent two cover sheets to protect the actual order.
But it needed cutting back a bit in order to avoid damaging the roofing felt on the woodwork shed.
Grinder on.
And then, suddenly the heavens opened, soaking us both to the skin up the ladders.
You can see how it cut under the front of the roof, wind driving it in from the Essex side, not our usual wind nd rain direction.
Once we stopped, and waited for the rain to finish, I took a look from Mickey side.
And absolutely pleased with the outcome so far.
Well deserved rest, with a mug of tea and a smoke.
Called it a day for the top of the roof, more screwings and doings tomorrow when I have about 150 pilot holes to drill and screws to fit.
