Some home improvements - the roof

We've been in the new place for just about six months now. With it being an ongoing project with plenty to do. We decided that we would only make improvements as and when time and funds allowed. Where possible we want to reuse and recycle what we can from farm stuff we inherited along with the house.
There are no plans to redecorate inside yet, although before Christmas I did refresh a few areas and redecorated Michaels room.
So in this post I shall just share some before and after photos of what we've achieved so far.

The roof before:-


Main roof and entry porch



Rear of garage roof



The workshop roof



Rear of house



As you can see the roof was a bit of a mess it was different colours and had two types of roofing iron. We decided that before we started painting the outside of the house we should first fix the roof. First it was sprayed with fungicide to get rid of the moss, then the sections of roof that were the light green needed rescrewing. The garage roof was completely redone and some clear long drops were added to let in more light. Joe's workshop roof was rescrewed and also had some clear drops added. Once all that was done it was ready for repsraying.

This is what it looks like now:-

I'll be back with the inside jobs soon
