roof: the director’s cut

[kellan_the_tabby]

Above: the problem!

Below: the solution!

Behold: the precipitate!

Which I then covered with lots of tape!

& then just basically kept up with taping & stapling on housewrap until I ran out of tyvek tape, staples, & housewrap all at once, which was clearly a sign to stop.

But hey, I got a lot done!

Next up? MORE ROOF

If you want to see these posts sooner, & not incidentally help support me & my cats in our travels & such, the way to do that is to sign up as one of my Patrons for as little as a buck a month.

I’d REALLY like that.

According to the receipt they are called 'strap ties'.

Hm.. evidently British/Euro ones are a different design then, because they don't look like what I'd call a strap tie. Oh well..

[kellan_the_tabby]

Alas! A common language.

[siliconshaman]

Indeed, according to the local Tool Station website, the thing that looks most like that is called a Roofing Strap. Which is logical, but it's not exactly the same. It doesn't have the flanges bit.. it's just a straight rectangle. with a row of holes either side.

Not all strap ties here do, either, to be fair; that one was just the closest length top what I needed. Also I'm kinda chuffed that I apparently used it on the right part of Tyrava, if not in the prescribed manner!
