This is Ewan's garage. It came with the house he bought in Forfar but hadn't been looked after very well. It needed painting, the roof leaked, and some of the roof timbers were rotten.
I scraped and gave it two primer coats, removed the felt, which was nailed on, and replaced the rotten timbers. My son Gordon is an expert flat roofer and he dried it off with his gas torch, and applied a covering of primer felt, followed by a covering of thick, heavy duty green mineral felt.
This is all melted to the timber rather than nailed. I finished it off with a hardwood trim all round. This not only looks good, it secures the edges, and the job should last twenty years at least.
