              Finished the gutting, down pipe went in ok , but the middle join came apart, any way a dap of CA seems to have done the trick.

              Next was the flashing for the roof to brick. Covering a piece of Pewter with some Tamiya Tape and finding the angle of the roof I penciled in the brick spacings. Then still leaving the tape in place cut the marked parts out.
              Going to have to do it in short sections, starting at the bottom and overlapping where needed. Really pleased with how it worked out using the tape on top.

              Flashing not fixed, but it shows the method.

              Thanks for following.

              John.

                Wow is all I can say Dude 2!!! I can see you are feeling better, but I have to ask you a question. The flashing is fantastic and important to a roof, now does it really rain in the cave??? Don't you think the gutters will do their job??? I think they will...Great scratchy Brother!!!

                            That shot with the flash attached looks damn real John. The Simon T award should be coming your way soon I reckon. Your brick laying/scribing is paying dividends.
