Moving on to the butty's rotten roof.

!

An equally rotten roof to remove!

Replacing that horrible polystyrene insulation with modern insulation.

Discombobulating the workshop's large skylight.

A frame within a frame acts as a good seal against the elements.

The first of three overlapping 6mm layers.

Using curved timbers, spacers and ratchet straps to hold the subsequent 6mm layers down, while the Cascamite glue dried.

It seemed like every time that I mixed and spread the glue, the sun would come out and start drying it before I could get the next panel on and clamped.

Looking a lot more solid and straighter.

A nice, triple layer roof, Getting there!

I've left an overlap all the way around, this will be trimmed back after the oak surrounds, cross pieces and handrail mounts have been fitted.

Looking good, and far more practical with the foothold spaces along the gunwales.
