just had to share this with someone and you lot drew the short straw
This week I've been fixing up my shed so that I can finish off my bike restore in the shed over the winter .The recent winds and torrential rains have seen the shed spring loads of leaks and become full of water .
The timber cladding, sheet lining and insulation have cost $200+ and its still nowhere near finished .
Today I took some things out of the shed to make some room to work in there so I can fit the lining and electrics etc. I took the stuff down to the garage and found that the garage had been leaking even worse than the shed.!
I just bought this property a few months ago when the sun was shining and there had been no rain for weeks so the leaks didn't show up then.
it didn't take long to see why the garage roof was leaking so badly. The idiot that fitted the profile roof cladding put the fixings in the troughs where the water runs and not on the tops of the profiles !
The roof is pretty flat, so all the time it is raining the water is seeping through all the fixing bolts onto the timber roof supports and into the garage.
Just when i thought I could get started on the bike I'm going to have spend days sorting out the garage roof cladding
Think I'll go pour myself a drink or three ....
