Finishing the extension roof

The oak fascia was attached in the same was as on the shed. Once this was completed the membrane, Permavent Easytray, battens and the lead flashing could all be fitted. The height of the extension meant that the join of the roof to the shed wall overlapped the gable end. As a result of this there was a "step" in the roof/shed connection that required some cutting and shaping of the lead. The scaffolding was moved to allow access and slates were fitted to the roof.

The extension roof nearly completed

 With the roof completed it was now possible to finish the gable end by fixing the oak feather edge. The boards were quite heavy so it was necessary to temporarily bang a nail in at the correct height one end to support the board whilst the other end was nailed.

The Gable end and extension roof finished

With the boards fitted the slates could be attached to the gable end. The next job is to paint and prepare the boards for the walls.
