Started removing the slates last Wednesday.
Slates off, sarking re-nailed using ringshank nails for a nice solid roof again,
Rotten sarking at the copings replaced. Covered using high performance breathable membrane,
Gutters realigned and painted inside.
Lead side gutters and then hand ball all the old slates down and new slates up, replaced the zinc ridge in a week.
While battling a fibromyalgia burnout and daily migraines.
The reason people who fight fibromyalgia are called fibro warriors is it's horrible condition that honestly I wouldn't wish on anyone. It's constant pain, it's constant fatigue.
People with it get constantly judged people say to me but you don't look in pain.
Yeah I constantly go because it distracts me from the pain, the moment I sit down in done.
For any spoonie out there thinking of giving up, honestly 6 years ago I was about to be medically signed off work for good. At 29.
Push yourself a little each day and give chronic illness a little middle finger 😅.
I also highly recommend sarcasm, good music and caffeine 👍🏻😄
Spoonie ❤️
