Good job Andy, well done ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ Just like being kids again lol.
Replacing the whole roof is probably a good shout ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜€

Crikey.
You live in a different universe :?
"I am going to fix it with OSB board and roofing felt."
You would not even think of running that past a building inspector in Australia.

Lol.
Itโ€™s only an extension bit out the back of the shop. Not more than a shed really. Donโ€™t need any planning or inspection for it.

Ah, I see.
You be bloody careful. You are not exactly a feather weight. You could go right through and hurt yourself. :D

Here is the latest of my project to redo the back of our shop. If you remember or look at my earlier posts this is what we had.

So the old freezer has gone and half the building has been taken down. I did use some of the old framework to replace some of the rotten ones and put on a new end wall. It has taken sometime with limited time but we are getting there. I did manage to get the roof done before we had rain and a thunderstorm this afternoon. I done a fair bit of the roof yesterday but was one roll of roofing felt short. We had to go out and find some this morning which took a couple hours. Weโ€™ve still got a bit to do with guttering needing fitting , tidying up the end and making a couple of new doors. Roxanna is going to paint it with wood preserver before painting. Weโ€™ve then got to finish off the inside. At least now most of the external work is done and itโ€™s waterproof again.
Here are some photos taken this evening.

As can be seen we have made good use of the area freed up from where the part of the old shed was taken down.

Thanks Buster. Yes, got to put a edging on the corner and seal the ends.
