Inspired by the sight of new rendering and with a long weekend to fill it was time to make a start on the washhouse roof. We now call it a washhouse as that\u2019s where the washing machine and boiler will be going along with the outside toilet and hand basin.\u00a0 The roof I\u2019d had patched up with sheet of hardboard last year was of Asbestos tiles on top of recycled rotten timbers, we think it may have dated from the 1930\u2019s and replaced what is mentioned in the deeds as a conservatory.<\/p>\n

\"Roof<\/a>

Kitted out with mask and disposable suit I damped down the tiles, stripped them off and bagged them up.\u00a0 Then I could fully assess the state of timbers, nothing was worth saving so it all got ripped off and replaced with roughly the same size timbers so the roof height wouldn\u2019t change too much.<\/p>\n

\"rotten<\/a>

Whilst all the roof was off and I had some light to work in I also replaced the rotten timber lintel over the toilet door. \u00a0This could have been tricky if the stone and brick above had been loose but I had already deep repointed these and they were secure enough to stay in place. Never the less I still worked the old timber out gently and avoided knocking anything about until the new timber was in place. One of my scaffold boards is now three foot shorter after providing the timber but I\u2019m happier now all of the structural rot is sorted. (Hopefully we\u2019ll not find any more)<\/p>\n

With a breathable membrane on and the first of the slats it\u2019s ready for tiling so then I can finish the plumbing and start thinking about a boiler.<\/p>\n

Almost enough for one weekend, but not quite, I also managed to get the outline of the stud wall in the Attic done, to finish as a rainy day job.\u00a0Followed by a few hours spent taking\u00a0out the wash house window and the lead lined toilet cistern to take home so I’ve got something else to play with during the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
