YR - Shed 2 - More Roof Tiles

This article was published Sep 25, 2022.

Have been gluing on a piece of roof tiles now and then, but this weekend I got a good look at it - and did not like what I saw.. So I did rip it all up again and started over. Better now, then regret it later on.

This time I did decrease the size of them down to 22.5mm high, which of only about 20mm is visible when they are glued on covering each other a few mm at the top. Also did skip the supports inunder, did not like that either. Now they are just glued on top of each over, which in my opinion looks better. Wait till you see them painted, it will be great.

Ridge pans

Here I did play a bit again with the first replacing tool I bought last spring when I couldn´t find my first "Fiskars Crimping Tool". The idea was to see if I could use them for ridge pans. It was an interesting experiment, but can´t see how these could be used.
