Ron, I was joking - the level of detail that you're putting in here - what's the wall paper pattern going to be?,..........
Gerry. I can't do the flashing until all the necessary elements are in place. Which, as I'm sure you have observed, they have yet to be fixed in place.

Cheers.

RonNearly there Rick.
A bit more faffing about then out with the 'Digitus Wrecktus!
I've added the lead flashings, a bit of slating and just a couple of rows of slate battens to the outbuildings of 29/31. These are now more or less complete and ready to be trashed....
Paper slates and battens. The battens are very, very thin! I painted the paper as a sheet first. Once dried, the paper became stiff and strong enough to cut the strips without fear of tearing the stuff. I use a Stanley Knife (Other makes are available ) for this type of work, as both paper and card eat scalpel blades for fun.
Kitchen foil lead flashing cut into 1/8" strips, painted and then 'Stroked' with a wire brush before bending and gluing in place.
