On the 21st (Saturday) it turned out to be the sunniest day for ages, and unfortunately I was out until 3:30pm so missed most of the day! That didn't stop me, however because as soon as I came back I was out there painting the primer on, then madly planning the pieces I needed to cut to cover the rest of the roof. The cutting plan was a bit more complicated because I was trying to use the rolls I had left without wasting anything, so the first and third pieces came from a new roll (leaving 20cm spare) and the second piece was actually the left-over bit from the top piece of the back section! Eh?!
I got the two pieces I'd planned on without too much trouble, although cutting the second piece was a bit frantic because it was getting dark and as the shed is now covered it was hard to see while I was in there! I eventually finished and came in at 8:50pm, and checking with the weather web site the sun had set at 8:30pm so I'd done half an hour after sunset! I only came in because I was banging in clout nails to trim the edge, and couldn't tell where the edge of the black underlay was against the black-painted wood. Hammer + nails + darkness = time to go in!
Next job: the ridge of the roof needs trimming off with a saw where the two sides meet, and for that I need to be up there on the scaffolding, so that has to move. Should be fun!
