But still miss the ol' Roofin' days ( inspite of all the hard, hard graft involved) and was the best crack i've had
Was just gonna ask what the hell do YOU personally do to stop breaking so many bloody slates when bedding the ridges and hips on when the roof is slated! I was just so fucked off the day i posted this as i must have broke 10 slates when doing the hips.....
