A CHALLENGE COMPLETED ! almost !

So yesterday we'd got up to this point the last piece of clear walling to go up and needing a roof.

Paul was out dog training for the morning so it was midday before he got back to the job in hand.


But it was soon walled and just waiting it's roof.




 He jointed two pieces of wood from the rafters of the old gazebo roof to form the rafters for this roof.


 added to both edges and also the middle.


 He also used up a large exterior sheet of OMG and a piece of another board that we had that had bowed from getting damp at some stage over the last few years.


Here you can see the boards waiting to be screwed down to the joists.

 and here you can see it nicely screwed down.

Then it was time to add the roofing felt, this is the lengths we had left over from when Paul put up the new gazebo by the house.

Finally roofing felt on and tacked down. So it's wind and rain proof. Just a few bits and pieces to do to finish it off and tidy it up and then it's done.
 So it's used lots of different wood that's been about, decking boards, old sleepers, old fence posts, several lenghts of wood, four sections of old joists , three long full lengths of polycarbonate and two shorter lengths, one large 8x4ft omg board and a section of a bent board, three off cuts of roofing felt and an old door... so far ! Which means none of it is laying about and it's now all been put to good use ! He completed his challenge.

I'll add a photo of it when it's completely finished.

I'll finish with this photo of the evening sun crossing the flower garden this evening at 8pm.
