A composite roof

How many households does it take to provide spare corrugated iron for a small roof? Quite a few it seems in York St...thus far we have 5 contributors towards our wee hut roof:

Our own leftovers from the brick cottage, most of which we shortsightedly hocked off to the local scrap metal dealers

12 sheets of most excellent iron from Esther & Tony's house in Redcliffs, soon destined for demo

A couple of sheets from Adrian, Michelle & Fern at no 29 - courtesy of their own re-roofing project

A stunning ridge cap from Bruce & Trish at no 7

And last but not least a load of metal guttering from no 21 - the house that most of us in the street have been wanting to demo for at least 10 years! I've had my eye on the guttering for some time since news percolated out that the house was due for demo, but did nothing about it. On Friday morning digger & crew arrived so I ran down there & quickly negotiated 45mins of time to extract as much guttering as possible, in exchange for a box of beer. In the end we had 2 hours to do the task - huge thanks to the new owners Bronwyn & John.
