RERM - bs - under repair

RERM - bs - under repair
The six original roof sticks - and a short length of detached cant rail - under repair. This includes work on the cant rail "dovetails" and repairs to a small number of other areas.
In order to retain the largest amount of original material, the remains of severely rusted nails that had been used to fasten down the roof planks will be removed using a plug cutter and a tight-fitting section of dowel will be glued in as a replacement and then cut back to match the original surface. This process has just been started and will take some time to complete.
The new roof will need somewhere for the new fixings to be attached.
