“I cannot tell a lie, father, you know I cannot tell a lie! I did cut it with my little hatchet.” George Washington aged 6

If you look very closely at  the distant chimney pots, there is a small tree which had rooted itself in the stack.

 

Standing for the first time on the top ridge of the roof - a bit sweaty palmedly - I managed to cut it down "with my little saw" whilst clinging feverishly to one of the chimney pots with the other hand. I then replaced any missing or broken tiles on that half of the main front roof.

 

I then replaced the aluminium side panels to finally make the window watertight !!!

Just the other side to do now
