That's the first one, lots of pop rivets to drill out so a good quality 1/8' HSS drill bit is essential.
Two down and two to go.
Three down and one to go.
Now to start work on the back wall.
That rusted out steel tubing needs to be removed and replaced with a length of treated 90mm x 70mm pine timber.
From lack of support the back wall has bowed outwards.
Here I'm using a S hook and some cord to pull it back into line so I can measure up for the timber support.
With a angle grinder I cut free the ends of the two cross purlins and supported them at the lengthwise centre purlin with cable ties. Then completely removed the rusted tubing.
The timber roof support rail is clamped and screwed from the outside using outdoor hex-head wood screws. The two cross purlins are also screwed down - see nex photo.
The timber rail has rebates for the cross purlins to sit in held with a screw.
Although the weather good who knows what will change overnight so covered the whole shed with a tarp supported in the centre with a pop-up garden bag.
Back tomorrow...
