severe weather warning - Page 2

jims-terrano · 11-11-2010, 22:50

Oh Bugger!!!!!

The car port has suffered from the wind, small roof hatch was trying to take off so is now screwed in place. Then discovered some sheets of polycarbonate trying to make a bid for freedom. So went around into back garden with ladder and tools to fix slipped on some dog poo. This was my fault because it's allways dark and how can my wife cleanup when it's dark which I'm guessing was also my fault. Anyway all secured for now but needs a proper looking at when weather improves.

What gets me is the sheets were fastened down for the most part with fixings but also sealed in place with B&Q Silicone. The silicone failed a few weeks after using it, it let water through.

Arghhhh
