jayc89 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I started to re-felt our existing garage roof in early December. It will be getting knocked down in a couple of months, so it was just to keep it, and my tools, water-tight until then. It's rained ever since, not had 2 consecutive dry days, so it still needs tarring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 It’s not great One minute a clear sky Next minute storms Really frustrating The sites have being paying Brickies wet time just to try and get them on site There’s about 30 Brickies out laying where I am Storms forecast for lunchtime 60 mile round trip for two hours work Sites will keep topping up wages while things are busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is interesting is why old people seem to think that demisting their car windows when we go from dry and cold, to wet and warm, is terrifying.

SteamyTea Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Pretty wet and miserable here today. So going to have a large lunch, pick up my book, read 3 pages and fall asleep. Every cloud has a silver lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
