Pantiling the Washhouse

By Andy the stuff doer

Another one ticked off the list, the wash-house roof is now complete (almost). Just the lead flashing and last few tiles to fix in place after the boiler flue has gone in. 

Using Pantiles is a bit different to the slate roofs I’ve done in past. Laying out the laths, accounting for the roof dimensions and grading the tiles are all important to getting a close fitting water tight roof.  I also had fun fitting in 4 glass tiles so the previously dark, damp and dingy toilet has a sky light. All the details will be covered over on the main site (after I’ve caught up on all the other write-ups). 

For Now I’m happy that the asbestos has gone and wash-house / toilet is water tight.  Now I can make progress on fitting a boiler and electrics and re-fitting the cistern so we can have a toilet that flushes without the use of a bucket.
