Meaning another job off my ‘To-Do’ list. And a good one too, because today I finished the re-roofing of my wood store.<\/p>\n

It’s been a few days since I stripped off the old roof covering that was letting in water and we’ve had a bit of rain since. Luckily I covered it up with plastic sheets that kept most of the water off and allowed only a little to get through into the inside.<\/p>\n

As there was so much water lying on them, I removed the plastic sheets a couple of days ago as I wanted to start fitting the new covering yesterday while it was dry and although when I went out to start early yesterday morning and found a lot of dew on the roof surface that I had to remove with my hot air gun, I think that it was the wisest thing to do.<\/p>\n

As a result, I was able to get all of the new covering on yesterday leaving just the finishing off to do today. I thought for a while that I wouldn’t be able to re-use one of the roof side boards but in the end decided that I might as well make the best of it and finally it didn’t turn out too badly as the following shots show as the sun was dipping onto the horizon.<\/p>\n

It’s a big relief to know that the job’s done because we expect several days of rain during the coming week and who knows what thereafter. Now, although I still have quite a bit of wood, I have to pick up the 3 st\u00e8res that I’ve ordered that will fill the store up and be more than enough to see the winter out. <\/p>\n

I’ve also got to check out my splitter because the last time that I used it, a week or so ago, some oil leaked out onto the floor. I’m hoping that something has just come loose but it’s not too serious if it’s something more major. I didn’t pay a lot for it when I bought it off Le Bon Coin some five or more years ago and there are some excellent, more powerful, ones for sale right now that I could pick up for less than having my old one repaired. I’ll know for sure soon enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
