A tale of two roofs

  1. The bolts are set in resin and a square of mat as reinforcing
     
  2. wrapping will only make more work for me ( mind ticking over ,thinking about something wacky ) the bolts will get another square of matting and tomorrow I'm hoping to start on the filler
     
  3. Good skills Nige :thumbsup:
