ANOTHER DAY TO WAIT.

We were hoping to re roof the 17ft long workshop on Saturday but the day started with heavy dark cloud with the hint of rain and very very cold! So we waited getting everything ready to start but the day stayed too grey and overcast to chance taking off the roof.

These photo's show you just how bad the inside of the roof is , soaking wet and never really getting a chance to dry out so that we could re do the felt.

more wet roof.

even the wood on the side is wet.

The wood under the felt outside!

So finally we decided that we would have to completely replace the roof, wood and felt, so hopefully by tomorrow night it will all be dry and water proof.

A view of the sky and you can see why we did not chance removing the roof as we did not want the new wood to get soaked before we could get the new roofing felt on.
We are going to remove this tree , which is a shame but it's in an awkward place and does not make much of a show.

The Stellata Magnolia is in bud and starting to open.

We moved this little Maple in a pot into this spot to keep it sheltered.


So wish us luck for tomorrows weather as we really need to replace that roof before it gives up on it's own!!!
