Trixie - it's this stuff LINK
The original green felt was still sound but looking a bit worn, so we decided to put this on top of it before it started leaking. Dead easy to cut and fix with the nails we got from the same supplier.
 
thanks chris....may give this a try.......tired of having to get shed roofs felt repaired.......didnt mind when i could manage it myself......however.....i now have to rely on someone else to do the repairs...........
DAWN has done an excellent job on yours....FULL MARKS tell her....well done
 
Weather has been dry, so I fitted the guttering etc; I'll let that settle before I cut the fascias ;).
Ice cream van just stopped outside, but by the time Dawn had explained to Mum and asked if she wanted one he had driven off :(
 
Just had an "exciting" day in portugal....Dave was building a wall, crushed his finger on a rock, came in to let me wash and bandage it, passed out and fell backwards onto concrete floor. I managed to call an ambulance, and ended up in Coimbra hospital where he remains. Has contusions in his brain, no fracture, but now waiting to see if the bleeding stops overnight. Having CT in morning, then they will decide if he can come home, or more likely will have to stay several days:cry:. Looks like I will have to drive the van back to UK anyway in May as he certainly won't be allowed to drive for a while. Poor dog was dumped on a friend and is completely confused. Would take the van to Coimbra and stay there but I can't leave her while at the hospital. Parking is bad, limited and not really for vans too at the hospital. Just when life seemed on an even keel....

So, this is where you're all lurking! :)

Blimey, Ruth! Hope Dave's out of hospital now and you're both getting over the shock. Keep us posted.
 
Well looks like he is in for about five days! Now on neurosurgical ward and for CT every two days or daily if worsens?. Had a terrible day today cannot eat or drink without vomitting, so on IV's. Not what the plan was for our trip, but life is like that!
Trying to reassure myself he is in the right place but he hates it, reminds him of the brain surgery in the past...keeping positive for talking to his mum and my mum back in UK but, as a nurse, I know too much!

really pleased for you in winning the raffle............sorry that david and yourself are having such a difficult time cnat be easy for you both especially being out of the country............take care
 
Visited this afternoon.....he is like a different man! A grumpy one who feels I should have left him to wake up after being unconscious for over five minutes because " he would have been fine"! And no point bringing him to hospital for a crushed finger anyway! Had more fluids and meds overnight which have sorted the pain etc and he can now eat and drink...had cold chicken soup for lunch :sick::sick: so he wants to be home now. I think the stroppiness is still concussion, unlike him....oh and he is fit to drive himself , the doctors know nothing!! Plans on going back to building his wall again this week and strimming all the land next!! Do you think they would give me some diazepam to slip in his food when he is finally discharged?? Having another scan tomorrow to see if bleeding stopped and no swelling....fingers crossed.
