No Steve you've got it upside down. If only it was that easy ! This is the high point of the slope of the roof, The barge boards are designed to fit over the sheets, but obviously not at the low end where the gutter is ! So DPD delivered the threshold strip just now so my job for tomorrow (weather permitting - it's just started raining again) is to hack off the old threshold, make sure that the underlying concrete is a smooth and dust free as reasonably possible and glue the new threshold into place. Obviously delivered rolled up but I've unrolled it in a heated workshop to give it a chance to relax into an approximately flat state prior to laying. |

Okay got it, impossible to tell from the photos. |

Steve I'm adding another annotated view of the roofs involved to clarify what I mean. The label 'Top Barge Board' is where I was working today - this is the top (upper) part of the foundry roof and the fall is away from this point. The label 'Main Workshop Side Bargeboard (Sealed)' has the one corrugation of that roof that penetrates the foundry and is leaking. Goodness only knows how rain is getting into it. By the way - the foundry is entirely of non-combustible construction so no acrylic sheets I think (And I see that man is STILL on the roof :lol:) |

I guess the top "barge board" is what we would call the roof cap here in the States. Seems short for that, particularly on a low pitched roof. Any chance of putting a second wider cap over it? |
