Tiled

October 2, 2008

The roof of the shed is tiled. And just in time, I might say. Today the slaters defied some 60 mpu gales and finished almost all of the slating. The heavy winds were already trying to rip off the carefully fitted roof felt. Tomorrow the ridge tiles will go on and the finally the gaps between the outer slates and the barge boards need to be filled with silicone. Remaining jobs in order of priority: fit a door, finish the floorboards, connect electricity.

We also started work on our property in Glendale, which is going to be a holiday let. All old junk has been removed and most has been burned: mattresses, old sofas, old cupboards, old sheets of v-lining, curtains etc. In the close by shed we have deposited old carpets, old sheets of vinyl, and more. We even found some lead covered wires, letters from previous owners dating back to 1945 and an old catalog, almost like the first incarnation of the Argos catalog. Once the stripping is completed we’ll have a good think about the future partitioning of the property.
