These are the aforementioned snaps - tin top to pop top, not pop top to viking alas..........

Someone asked about this a while back - but I haven't a clue who, or if they've even done it yet, sorry...........

hi rob! i'm in harrogate nr leeds! to get he fotos, right click and select save photo as, save to your hard drive! next show i'll be at wil be dub frezze, but i'll be at as many meets as i can through the year!!

Post by **missusjen** » 21 Nov 2005, 22:17

That's cool Rob - glad to help.......like Dave says, it's easier for you to copy the photo's off the web rather than us e-mail them to you. Best of luck with the roof - the starting off is scary, and the finishing off takes waay longer than you'd expect - they're also much heavier than you'd imagine, especially when you're holding it above your head...........

but the dificlut bit is already done! no need to cut a perfectly good roof in to pieces!!

Post by **missusjen** » 21 Nov 2005, 22:32

I was talking about lining it up right.........the cutting up of a perfectly good roof is waaay more than scary.........

i was lucky enough not to be sober enough to realise what i was doing when i chopped the roof!! he he
