I'm starting a loft conversion on a hip to gable semi.
To start I need access to the roof area to lay steels, so I will need to remove most of the roof - but retain part of the front facing pitched roof -as it has a gable section connected jutting out over the front bedroom bay window.
I'm going to strip off all the roof tiles as they are shot, prop up the short ridge with timber, remove all the rear and side joists.
Overnight I will construct a 'tent' with tarps battened to a temporary wooden frame work.
Anyone got any similar experiences of doing this, did it all blow away in a terrible storm and result in disaster ?? or stay put and keep things acceptably dry .
