Started on the rebuild .. the second half..after last year's start ..it's time to start again..I'm going to replace the rotten ply surface .. the frame work is tanalised timber so should be ok..I'm starting in the village ...as after the ply is replaced I can stand on it to work on the station area ...

 

[stockers]

Yep! that was a bit rotten. Best of luck with the rebuild Mike.

 

[PhilP]

Frightening how quickly that has 'gone'..

More power to your Jigsaw!

 

[mike]

Ta guys .. we have mad a bit of progress

 

[G-force1]

Are you going to skin that with thin ply Mike? I'd be a little concerned that hose boards could curl and warp.

You are making good progress.

 

[stockers]

That was quick work Mike. I noticed you used a large sheet of roofing felt for the old village. Can I suggest that perhaps this trapped moisture and accelerated the rot of the original ply?

 

[mike]

I think I'm going to keep clear of ply in future . Not sure on the roofing felt. I get what your saying allan but the ply rotted equally fast were there was no roofing felt..ie the station area....
Striped out the station area last few days..
