...a faux pas. Needed to render the narrowest strip in the garage. Won't be plastered, probably will paint it though. I'd run out of my normal admix. However...there's been a 5L container of this stuff kicking around here either since I bought the place or that I scored from work. It still sounded liquid when I shook it...

Mixed it up 1:1. Used it to wet a mortar mix 3:1:1, builders, opc, lime.

The stuff smelt like the worst wee ever and working time wasn't good. It's cracked. Probably didn't help the cement was old.

Only used half the dry mix so I've bagged the rest and will mix up tomorrow and try and get an acceptable top coat.

^^ Back to the drawing board, I fear.

well yesterday I made a start on the garage roof , I always new it was the garage that jack built but I wasn't prepared for exactly how crap jack was it'a about 40mm out of square and 30 mil ish wider in the middle than the two ends . I now need another1/2 sheet of ply because of the cuts . In between the wind and the rain I've stripped it all and plyed all bar the last bit . tomorrow facias and drip . they'll be fun as all the timber to the perimeter have been cut sort ! Instead of doing the roof level and then firings jack built the roof on a slope with a 90 mil drop end to end it'been a ba****d

The board was that far gone once I'd pulled the felt a handful at a time into bags . I bet the biggest piece that came of was no more than 18" x 18"

tons of rubbish and inside the garage

looks like an explosion in a weetabix factory roll on tomorrow ,at least the weather supposed to ok
hopefully by teatime it will be at least blacked out and watertight we'll see

Had a go at making staffordshire/Derbyshire oatcakes. “Bert and Ernie” seem enthralled

Flattish roofs are a total PIA . I'd offer you'll need a 3 in 80 drop along the length at least .

 

[roblane65]

I think a Harrier could take of this one .

Just a crappy “trendy” cider.

I put high density insulated wriggly tin covered in plastisol on my garage roof and added a 4x3 beam at the top end to get a bit more slope with another cut to dimensions in the middle .
