now Im not one to go round spread gossip!
but my roof turned into a nightmare for me that my poor DH had to help me out of.
I have put mansard roofs together before....Linda and Tracy both tell of how theirs just snapped into place.
well not mine. I wet the roof peices and scored them a little deeper than they were...this helped for the Glencroft roofline. and than I snapped them into their place under the notch...easy enough....
but it wasnt curved into the supports....so I got out the handy dandy clamps...after much finagling I had the 2 ends on the supports...but the middle said...NOPE I AINT BENDING!
I pleaded but it stood firm. so I asked DH to help me bend the around some paint cans well he found a long cylinder he had and it took the 3 of us to get it all bent and bungee corded
yup this is my roof...he ran it under the kitchen sink 2 times and than took it out to let it dry.
next day he puts them in place and says hey looks good and goes to work.....DUH...hunny still no on the supports! so I once again get out the clamps...still no bend in the Peices...this morning Im like put the roof together or Im gonna melt down. so he did...here are the pictures of how he bent the roof to meet the supports for glueing. no it aint pretty but so far it works.
no it isnt pretty and although he used alot of weird things to get the roof to bend I assure you the kitchen sink was not one of them.
now I have to wait at least 24 hours for the glue to dry and set up.
TTFN
