Smart job. There's some fellas doing the built up felt (right under our feet) on a job at the moment. Harder job than it looks. How long did that take you?

Very nice.
Don't work with that stuff, I fact I try and stay away from roofs these days. However I did have to replace this and a damn sight more last week after a short lived tornado ran through this place rearranging half the roofs. I've not worked with Big 6 for a longtime, I forgot how heavy it is
.
Picture shows a small amout of damage the roof you can see in the background I built a year ago, has no sides left
All work I guess

I think the wind speed limit is 28mph on the ones we hire at work, never seen anyone check with an anemometer? yet

You wouldn't catch me up there, in 20mph winds never mind 28.
Mind you the Windsock on the Airfield next to us was hanging to the pole with it's teeth today so I reckon it was well over 28mph. Needless to say we weren't up there for long.
Spent the rest of the day in the workshop, refurb'ing the lathe

Just shows how different our countries really are. Here in aus all the roofing is tile or corogated iron, i cant say i`ve seen a roof like that anywhere i`ve been in my travels round the country. I can see there would be a real skill attached to doing a good job and getting a great finish.

Tell me about it
.We managed to get most of the debris off the pitched roof, from the flat roof using along piece of wood with a few nails in the end. There's still some we couldn't reach so I'll have to make some crawling boards
. And then we have to repair it. A long with 3 other sheds one what's 400yds long
back in me days of roofing, cement fibre sheets, and some aspestos i suspect!
we never had the luxury of chery pickers or forklifts, a tight **** comp i worked for.
so we had to shoulder carry the big6 sheets up a ladder, played **** we me back and often went home we a bleeding shoulder.
and a friend used to carry a cutting set onto the steel work, up a ladder one bottle at a time, one propane then the oxy, skiny little git he is, but fecked if i could mannage that.
