MJB1 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 this is all totally unrealistic mate , no really it is , where's the pile of scrap each worksop seems to aquire ? all the old pairs of overalls , wet weather coats & of course , the 8 pairs of mismatched wellington boots , the old seaside naughty postcards stuck on the wall , the 20 odd bent toplinks that for some unknown reason are never thrown out , the page 3 poster from 1974, the austin allegro estate in chocolate brown in the corner of the workshop , that failed MOT, of which another worker parked there 15 years ago swearing blind he's get it through next year but will never be done . so how come you can walk up to your workbench instead of fighting your way to it like most do?

Deere-est Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Been a while but with Toytrac just around the corner I have been doing little bits and pieces, time allowing. One of them being the roof. .. which is now finished : All the tiles are on and the ridge tiles glued on too. I used Tile Grount after it was all set to go around the ridges poking into the gaps. Took ages, just to do the tile grout took round about 6hrs. .. it has to be left untill it is not quite set and then the excess scraped and scratched away using a kebab skewer with one end sanded to a blunt ball shape.
