come along and tell us we should not do it yourself and you should get a pro in? afterall tree surgeons seem to be good at berating any DIY tree owners.

Get the pros in, no point spending much more time than them to do a worse job.

I'm not jealous at all, in the slightest, not one bit.

We, by far, prefer our view of a brick wall and the roof of next doors garden shed roof.

cheers, steve

 

p.s.... Base and Billy; we couldn't afford to get all those "pros" in unless we re-mortgaged. Would rather live with work in progress rather than debt.

😂😂 only way we can do all of this is im doing 90% of the work myself so makes the budget go a bit further. The joys of being a time served many moons ago

Lets be honest your probably doing it to a better standard than alot of so called pro's personally I'm all for DIY the amount of time and money and new skills I have acquired along with a sense of self satisfaction is a great thing.

Re-roofing our depenance a couple of years ago

 

Stripping off the old stuff, then re-enforce the wall tops, re-enforce ridge, bit wonky but solid, redesign gable to match existing kitchen roof and new chimney.

 

Changed roof line to allow increase in height to wall last pic, remove cement render and replace with lime mix. Underpinning to wall & large support for 1000 litre water tank - centre.

 

Not fallen down yet.
