The roof again...

Good progress last weekend - finally some good weather! So I am moving on to the other side. The first job is to remove the 2 floor to ceiling partitions along the side wall. I also saw through the top if of the partition closing the toilet room after removing the door. I try to get the heater off the floor but fail, so apart from the kitchen units, the floor is mostly clear now.
I like the patterned ply, and hope to be able to reuse some of this. While the weather is good, exposing the roof wood on this side reveals the roof window her is also leaking badly. You can see how wet the wood is in the picture below.

 The cabinet below is from the toilet partition wall taken out. This is OK, I will clean this up, replace the mirror and fixings. It might be one of the few things I save. Particularly pleased with the unopened toothpaste complete with a thick layer of dust - maybe keep it for the first trip? Visible in second picture below.


Remove the rear section of awning rail as on tother side. Quite slow going clearing off the old sealant on the outside. Then removing screws/ nails and peeling back the aluminium takes the rest of the day. I remove some wooden side struts easily with a wood saw and a little tension.

I roughly replace the dodgy roof window with duct tape and cover for overnight.
