The r&r has started.

Official it started 1pm yesterday when my shift ended.

But I didn’t get to lie-in and enjoy a lazy relaxed start to this week off work.

I had to get up early to help a relative replace the felt on my downstairs toilet. It’s been leaking during heavy rainfall for a while now.

The leak was due to rotted felt under the tiles. The tiles themselves were still doing their job.

So 8am this morning we stripped the roof of the tiles. Removed the old batons and rotted felt.

It was then time to lay the new felt, new batons, and re-lay the tiles (once I’d cleaned the moss off them).

We got that done by lunchtime.

Tomorrow some cement work needs doing and once dry some sealant stuff (that’s about as technical as I get on this diy stuff), and it’s all good as new.

What this means is that my visit to Nath is going to be at the end of the week.

And hopefully before I see Nath I’ll have some big news to share with you.
