<\/a>So to change the subject, here’s another photo of the lean-to and its roof.<\/p>\nWhat you can’t see in this photo are any slates. And that’s a shame – I’ll have to buy an infra-red lens for that because by the time that I had knocked off work (18:10 if you are wondering) the first row was already in place. <\/p>\n
And in the dark too, so I shudder to think what it might look like in the cold light of day, but I was determined to put the first row on, no matter what.
<\/p>\n
What else you can’t see are the three cut pieces of plywood to make the final length, and the screws that are holding down the roof sheets onto the chevrons, because it’s all now covered by a plastic membrane – the type that stops water passing through but allows water vapour to escape.<\/p>\n
Yes, it’s all looking good on the lean-to roof and it can chuck it down now for all I care because at least it’s all weathertight. <\/p>\n
It’ll be even better when all of the slates are on, whenever that might be. I can’t count on the weather holding off indefinitely – it did well to hold off for these last three days while I managed to do this much. Not like the Auvergne at all, is it?<\/p>\n
I’m impressed by the way with the Ryobi one-plus drill that I’ve been using to screw the roof sheets on. Twice now it’s fallen off the roof all the way to the ground and when I’ve picked it up each time, it’s worked fine and carried on fixing the screws. <\/p>\n
I reckon that if I had fallen off the roof twice, all the way to the ground, I wouldn’t be able to carry on screwing, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n
