Summerhouse

Today we went to Yateley and dismantled our newly acquired summerhouse, it is a very well made unit of good quality timber. 90% of it is in very good nick. The one exception is the roof which will need some work. About 10% of the boards are rotted and will need to be replaced, but its not a major problem.
We were also lucky enough to get the bearers which are sound and can be used again.
We arrived on site at 10.30 and were away again by 2pm, this included a tea break, and a proper cooked lunch in the camper van.
The most awkward part was removing the old roofing felt, which was  several layers thick, and held by many clout nails.



New glass will be required for the front windows






 So........ new roofing felt, clout nails, a few screws, bitumastic lap cement, paint and some graft, will give us a very good value building. I already have most of the timber  put aside to effect the necessary repairs.

  1. What a brilliant job we did on the dismantling, with your brawn and my tea making/lunch skills we were quite the dynamic duo :-)
