Roof slat replacement
You will also need the roof soon, as we want to install a solar panel system on it.
(Thinking about the future.)
The only problem is that the battens are in a deplorable state.
For an incomprehensible reason, it all became wavy.
It can be seen from the side that not much space was left for ventilation ...
Barely 2cm ...
The new timber has arrived.
With the help of kinship, the removal of the tiles and the renovation of the roof began.
The old slats were in very bad condition!
The rotten shavings just fall out of them...
By the middle of the cross section, some had fainted. I don't think he was treated with anything ...
The new slats are a little thicker and impregnated against fungus and insect damage.
Luckily, the kinship was able to come together, so we were able to hand over the pots quickly, then hand in hand.
The upper part of the roof was flawless, the lower part had to be completely replaced. This means a 27m long roof ...
It was finished after two days and a few liters of hot tea. The weather was below 10 degrees, but at least it wasn’t raining, it was just overcast.
Some defective tiles have been replaced (this can be seen in the lighter spots).
