Rain

It's been raining which is very good news, and thanks to JH The shed on allotment 2 now has some massive guttering Alongside a newish roof. We modified the old roof, taking out the rotten timber, Replaced one whole side of the pitched roof and refelted. It's not pretty but as of today the water butt has about 30-40 Litres in it, just another 960 more to go until its full! The thing about collecting water, it's all about surface area! As the 100 litre butt on the house filled in one night. The aim is to have over 3000 litres of stored rain water This should see us through....... For how long is just a guess but it's a start!


some photos of the shed roof, not massively exciting. Nice weather tho.

New roof on very old shed

Water Butt in place

All the guttering has now been changed

A massive THANK YOU to JH

After we had finished, I am pretty sure that bit of roof won't leak,

butt there's a hundreds of other places it will

No photo with the new felt, so I ll sort that asap or imot.

But basically we slapped on some black sticky glue, then a neatly cut sheet of felt

and hammered plenty of clout nails in.
