Diary of a Shed - 18 October 2004 < Back    Next >    HOME
More shingling and more great progress. I managed to complete the whole of the left-hand side of the roof, except for the ridge shingles which go on top. I must remember to do them before I move the scaffolding to the other side of the shed, otherwise there will be no way to get up there.

One important thing to tell you: Gisburne's Patented Super-reach Nailer Tool has another use! It can now be used to lift the end of the chalk line, and hook it over the nail (see yesterday) so that I don't have to use the roof ladder. Top tackle, my stick - I'm glad I saved it!

There's not a lot more I can say, other than that I'm very pleased with the results, and it's not complicated, just a lot of work!


Getting right to the top of the roof, you'll notice that there is still some more to cover (the black part of the tile needs to be hidden) but there's not enough room for a full shingle. So I just cut off the top of the shingles and attached them in the same way as the others.
