Hi folks.
So I've made numerous posts on here about my roof repair. Deciding to do it all myself was a huge project for me and took way... way longee than anticipated. In the end up I finally went for a dry ridge kit and installed it today. So that's the top half refelted and a dry ridge kit fitted now.
First time I've ever done this so it wasnt perfect being honest, far from it. You can see in the pictures it's not as straight as I thought it was but from the angle I put it down it seemed OK but when I had it all down can see it went askew... Hope this is still suitable and will do the job, some sides are over to one side than the other now but overall with the caps on its looking pretty good, just need to keep the ridge tiles flush and ill be happy.I'm sure it will stay dry all the same?
Next job I need half a roof tile to finish it off at the end but I'm planning to put the half tile in the middle to make sure it doesn't blow away and thne I need to rebed the verges as the mortar is completely fallen out.
Here are some pictures please let me know what you think.
Thank you

Edit - I realise I also didn't pull it across enough and probably the reason why it isn't straight, I was afraid to make it to tight and left it to slack instead.
