The roof had been leaking for at least 10 years after it was damaged by the firm who installed our little conservatory. At last I summoned up the courage and energy to tackle it. By the way, if you want to fix your roof, don’t do it in August if the amount of rain which fell this year is anything to go by!
I had a workshop which was just about big enough to take a car and have a bit of room over. However, that space was taken up by the Porsche 914 which couldn’t be moved so I had nowhere indoors to work on anything else except a car port which is almost as wet as being in the open air.
So eventually I saved up enough for a garage. I feel wooden garages are in many ways the best as they tend to buffer the humidity in the air by absorbing moisture when it’s wet and giving it off when it’s dry (that’s the theory anyway!)
My son recently wanted to update his kitchen so it was off to Ikea…
Replacing a carpeted floor with a much more practical “luxury vinyl” Karndean Palio Clic floor. This material comes in planks and clicks together producing a tough waterproof surface (hopefully!)
An attempt to monitor temperature, moisture content of soil, measure rainfall and control watering systems using a Raspberry Pi and an Adafruit Feather.
