PhilA Posted October 27, 2020 Author Posted October 27, 2020 It's a good movie, either way. The thermal one stays, I might pull it apart and give it a tweak to slow it down a little.
PhilA Posted October 27, 2020 Author Posted October 27, 2020 Everyday car. Drove it to work today, ahead of the pending bad weather. Phil hairnet, loserone, Dippy and 9 others 12

PhilA Posted October 29, 2020 Author Posted October 29, 2020 Everybody's safe, it's just taken the roof off the room I put a bunch of effort into fixing up. Go figure.
PhilA Posted October 30, 2020 Author Posted October 30, 2020 One hole patched, some loose sheets secured. Workshop roof next, that needs some new material. Just gonna patch it up for now Tepper 1
PhilA Posted October 31, 2020 Author Posted October 31, 2020 Sometimes gotta take a step back to move forward. Got the garage doors so they open again but they are well beyond it Shall try get some wood delivered before it rains. One rafter was super rotten, need to replace it. But, the electricity is back on. I ache all over and am going to bed. Phil Dan_ZTT, BlankFrank and somewhatfoolish 3
PhilA Posted November 1, 2020 Author Posted November 1, 2020 Cleared the broken roof off the roof, pulled everything back to the least broken parts and started recycling the shattered wood into new rafters Gave the car a wash to cheer me up a little. Phil egg, BlankFrank, puddlethumper and 1 other 4
PhilA Posted November 2, 2020 Author Posted November 2, 2020 Making progress with the roof. Went for a little jaunt to town to get some nails and some pizza and some donuts. Saw an old Plymouth Belvedere too and spoke to the guy driving it which was pretty nice. Had it 8 years, got it from his grandfather and drives it daily. Phil eddyramrod, BlankFrank, Datsuncog and 8 others 11
PhilA Posted November 5, 2020 Author Posted November 5, 2020 9 hours of carpentry. Roof frame is done, sealed and I've got the first sheet of steel on. I just hurt all over. Office job made me soft! Phil mercedade, somewhatfoolish, BlankFrank and 2 others 5

Phil Expand Looking good, but a technical observation rather than a criticism. With the edge of the roof sheet projecting past the eaves board, will this not help any wind get underneath and peel the sheet off? Can you cut the sheet off flush and get an L shaped cover flashing which can be screwed into the fascia and down into the top of the roof sheet? PhilA 1
MorrisItalSLX Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 You didn’t hang about getting that roof fixed! I’d still be messing around with temporary tarpaulins and swearing. I would agree with Mr. Velcro though, a length of barge capping would be your friend there. PhilA 1
PhilA Posted November 7, 2020 Author Posted November 7, 2020 There's about 2" overhanging, and there's a nail every 5-6" along the top of the eave. The metal is flexible enough to bend down but i wanted a drip edge on the eave. My concern is the eave itself, as it is open underneath. I have tripled the fixings on the wind edge though. Each sheet is held on normally with 40 nails. Phil

I've always had a soft spot for a project! PhilA 1
PhilA Posted November 8, 2020 Author Posted November 8, 2020 Bloody exhaust pipe tip fell off on the way to the store. I was gonna stop and pick it up but the car behind me drove over it. So, I stopped at the auto parts store on the way and bought a new one. Without, exhaust gets up into the boot and drawn into the cabin. I think I'll drill a couple holes through the pipe and tap them so the screws have something to get good purchase on. Other than that, not much to report. Just been driving about a bit and trying to enjoy it. Phil billy_bunter, LabRat and LightBulbFun 3

PhilA Posted November 13, 2020 Author Posted November 13, 2020 Decided to get a few things done. Dip beam adjusted against what's left of my garden fence. High beam doesn't point at the sky any more. New oil pressure switch. That's what 400 miles gets you in this engine. I think that's due a change. That fell out of the gallery when I changed the switch. Diesel oil pulls a lot of crap out of an old engine. Bought some nice gloss black paint for the horns. Need to make a new bracket for them. Phil Coprolalia, puddlethumper, Saabnut and 3 others 6
