Scullery Conversion. Weeks Fifteen and Sixteen

Snow......just what we need!

Terry and Matt adorned with hats
Make a start on the roof
I hope it’s weatherproof.
Gable as in gable end, not Clark
Purlin a beam, not purling a jumper
Strutting supports for securing the beams
Collars and chords just like a tie
Rafters, the spars from eaves to ridge
With  birdsmouth joints
Fitting over the plates.
Battens as in batten down the hatches,
Truss a bolster overhead, not down the bed.
Barge boards, nothing to do with a narrow boat;
Fascia boards and gutters
Flashing, not our roofers.
Plates....not for cakes.
Tiles in rows, plus Chimney and pot
Not that sort you clot!
