| 862623 | 2010-03-01 05:18:00 | Thanks guys for your comments. The house is a two story place and I have not any head for heights now. Used to once but not anymore. The first rung on the step ladder is about the limit for me :) Perhaps you could pinch a surgical technique and use keyhole system. |

| 862629 | 2010-03-01 05:50:00 | Well, a mechanic turned surgeon gave a woman a bit of a plumbing re-arrangement, and her husband had to toe her around the block a couple of times to get her started. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 862630 | 2010-03-01 08:18:00 | I did my whole roof early last year (replaced about 120 nails) with the rubber-capped roofing nails that are twisted to grip better. I had quite a few bits of rust and a few holes as well (previous owner had badly neglected the roof). Painted the roof myself, and was up there for the first time just before Christmas and it looks fine. I can't see any reason to tek-screw the corru. iron to be honest; the nails are pretty grippy. You could do it yourself if the pitch of the roof isn't too bad? Only a days work if you're systematic about it. If the nails go into old native 10x1 or 8x1 the nails will often split the timber so the screws are a much better way of fixing the roof. I would never use anything else now. |
