October 2009: Slight leak….

The pleasure of arriving on this trip was slightly reduced when I spotted a hole in the roof of one of the outbuildings. A quick investigation showed that the timber battons had slipped as the nails holding them in place had rusted through.

Of course once I got up on the scaffold tower to have a closer look we had to strip back quite a large area…

This was however one of those jobs that went to plan and only a couple of hours later new battons had been nailed in place (you just have to love Paslode nail guns!) and the tiles replaced. I was worried that my tiles would not be straight, they are, it’s just thr rest of the roof that isn’t.
