QuoteSpeaking to Leon yesterday at Warfare a part of the roof of the Pendraken unit had been blown off.

Hope it's only a small bit of roof!


Phil- what can I say!

Went out on a bike ride this morning (cold, dry and not windy) best weather in several days! On one side rode found a tree across the road! A lady walking her dog had warned me, but no warning signs. 

A bit of snow around lunch time (most unusual for round here), but didn't settle. 

QuoteOh, no !

I do hope not TOO bad, Leon....fingers crossed.

The storm caused me accident number 2 today.

Ridge tile had blown off..so I had to go up into the 'old' attic' and see how much daylight I could see from where it had come off.
Fortunately....No gaping hole, but that tile will need replacing...not by me.

Mishap no. 2 was shifting the loft hatch...much heavier than I remembered and I managed to drop that on my head....Fortunately NOT a corner, otherwise that would have been blood, spurt, murder.

Accident 3 was filling a water trough for the field where two of the horses will be spending the next few weeks.
Final full bucket to take over....I tripped on a pice of bramble, and went flying, landing on the top edge of a very hard plastic bucket.....Nicely bruised shin, and a very wet leg. Wellies, jeans and socks currently drying on a radiator.

That's my 3 for today....I hope,

Cheers - Phil.

He's back.   

Phil, you really are an accident waiting to happen!

Helped plant 550 trees today, mostly oaks, today in the two hours before the snow arrived

Good Show! As a responsible Tree-Parent, you will find that visits for Chats, Hugs and in time, stern warnings about 'That Ivy', (She's Clingy!)... will be very rewarding in later years.
I, myself, am considering the raising of a small brood of Pine cone seedlings. Sadly, the Scots Pine with a lean towards the house, has his her its days numbered... but if I can let it know 'job done'... I will feel better about its demise.    

Well done Mark .

Good man !! 

Cheers - Phil.

Nice one Mark!

Cheers guys!
That'll bring the total I've helped plant in the last 5 years to over 5000. Another 75 to do next weekend.
Burnley has also just received funding for 16,000 more trees in 40 "micro-forests" around the borough

One hopes, not too bad? My ex-workplace, (90s 'warehouse unit' build.), had a 'twin' down Yorks, which lost most of it's roof in a storm. 

Sadly it's true, Storm Arwen decided to give Pendraken HQ a whack and took a strip of the roof panels off, leaving the back office completely open to the elements.  It set the security alarm off so my phone had pinged me and I asked Dave to go down and check on it.  Him and Mike managed to use some spare floorboards to patch the gap for now and we've got the insurance people calling me on Tues to get a proper fix sorted out.

Quick video of the damaged section:
The most annoying bit is that I've spent so much time fixing the roof and then this comes along.  The storm has lifted a lot of the other panels on the back half of the unit, so we've got loads of leaks coming through into the workshop again.

Well done that man 
I saw that the weather in your part of the world was pretty bad on the BBC News when they were reporting on  the Burnley v Spurs game being postponed since the pitch was completely covered in snow!

Leon. Sorry to see damage. Hole that big and rest of roof could have gone. Best wishes.
