HOME/DiY: Shed #4, Roofing…

Eagle eyes may note the join…

A continuing saga

Grabbing whatever moments I can – when we’re both at home and the weather’s ok, a rare combo of late – I get a little time here and there to progress work on the shed roof.

I recently extended the longer edges, which previously didn’t project over the walls. This was to make sure rain would run off, not down/through the structure. I didn’t do the best or prettiest job.

Mixing wood filler paste.
Mmm… yummy!

So today I mixed a paste of wood dust, wood glue, and a little water, and filled in the seams where boards didn’t meet quite as flush as we’d have liked. Hopefully this bodge will suffice to keep the pieces together, and stop water passing through?

Filling quacks…

What a rubbish photo the above is! My excuse is that I was more concerned with getting the job done than photographing the work in progress.

It’s good to be chipping away at what is a reasonably large job, and gradually getting nearer to completion. I hope I can get the roofing felt on before the snow arrives!
