Frustrating weather

The weather in the UK has been dampening my spirits over pass months, I was hoping to have the B4 back in the workshop by end of April 2012. But that hasn’t happen, therefore I’ve got the blues! and it isn’t helping to motivate me to posts more post lately. Here in UK we seen very few dry-shiny-days in-between the pass months and if the heavens don’t stop opening I never get this roof finished off let alone the bike and the month of May hasn’t been any better so far. although posting might be a way of vent my frustration with the weather and dipsticks.

At the beginning of April  just as various agency were telling us we were in a drought the weather began to become unsettled from light to torrential rain within a week the same agency-dipsticks were given out floods warning but still with drought warning in place! "The wrong kind of rain it seams ?"  lol 
This remind me of few years ago when we were being told that the UK is getting hotter and within ten years we will be having summers like Southern France. Before this that we would only be able to grow African type Plants and the summer of 1976 (a hot summer) would become the norm, But haven't their been saying that since 1976   lol

On top of the weather the removing the old roof was lot harder-work than I first thought and has put my schedule behind even more then I would wish for,  I was only able to start the work in November 2011 due to a heavy work loads.  A different story this year 2012... I now have lot of time on my hands but due to the weather can’t make use of it. When it is dry' if not just for few hours its one of few days I more-then likely got work on.
Lucky November 2011 was a much dryer month then usually and by the end of the month I had manage to get the main structural part of the roof done, this included lowering and
replacing main beam with a new heavy deeper/beef-up beam and where this roof meets the garage roof  fitted in a new guttering channel to aid in the removing of rain water off the roofs, replace most rafter with new and then lay-down new OSb3 boards for  main roof area. Only few timbers from the old roof were reused and all the above replace using new C16 structural timbers. 

When the winter weather was started to close-in and getting too cold to carry on, it was time to closed up till sometime in the new year 2012.. Now it would be down to heavy polythene sheeting on a 6’feet wide roll that a bother in-laws give me some years ago and finally has become very handy. 

Being able to restart on the roof in March 2012 to finish off various parts of the roof, like where the end wall meets the roof to make a good join and therefor a good surface for the felt to bond too and in turn keep the rain out which is one of the areas the old roof failed. But everything seams to be taking longer than thought and before I knew it April was here as well as the unsettle weather and its has become a pain every time I wish too or able too that's is if the weather allows me to work on the roof. Having to roll back the polythene sheeting which takes time to uncover and more so when it comes to recovering to the next time having to making sure I recover as well as previous so the building below stay dry, which I’ve manage so far.
