nice job bud....

Day on the tools today, really enjoyed it..

Measured the next phase of roofing (asbestos strip underway)cut out a load of cast iron gutter, (nice bit of scrap money for a works drink) then replacing steel purlins ready for roofing .. this is a big old job, about 18 months work, only 4 Miles from my door so one I'm quote enjoying managing and jumping in every so often ...

That looks stunning mate, I've an old staircase here with a nice wooden balustrade/handrail .. I hadn't even thought about a french polish when we come to renovate, but I think that's the way I'll go... lovely work

Thanks  , it’s not easy tbh  , it’s done with a French rubber ( NOOOOO , NOT THAT TYPE ) … a lint free rag with wadding in the middle loaded with shellac ,  being shellac it’s spirit based and dries in seconds . I’d practise on some old pieces of wood first mate

They all angle iron purlins? Surprised they're not replaced with galvanised purlins.

We have to match the rails in situ mate, only adding additional runs where we are taking out timber runs... The other 4 slopes are all timber so will take everything off back to rafters and put new Steadmans galv purlins in...I hate fixing to angle iron, but the cost replacing the lot would be the over the top, there spending too much polishing a turd imo.. lol
