So the Pola Building has been doing a little "self returning to original kit stuff". Mostly it jas been Barg Boards, gutters and downpipes moving.,despite my best efforts I also noticed that the Back had droppd some on ine side indicated by the wood blobes between the ground and first floor being out of sync. Never took a pic of that and for the moment held back in place by carp.
However the other jibs were mostly done yesterday and I have embarked upon a reglue and mechanical ways of holding bits on.
Below can be seen the Downpipe which has a small length of Brass Wire stufed in it, a similar hole in the too piece with Pipeweld on the Wire when pushed together should hold all in place. A subtle bend also helps.
The Downpipe has also been given a wire holder that is pushed into a small hole in the end of the building.
The top of the Downpipe has a piece of wire that gos through and bends into the gutter. Hopefully this will keep things together till the gutter falls off again!
One of the Bargeboards as seen,mit fell apart in my hand indication that the plastic is probably not too good in UV light. Also seen is my Pinvice with the No.68 drill that I use for the wire.
The three parts have been glued back with Pipeweld and a small 7 of wire pushed through into a hole drilled in the roof. These will be pretty well invisible from normal viewing distance once the weather has got at them
Seen from a distance but still close up view.
Finaly the rear Chimney had fallen off so the same fix as applied to the gutters was used.
When I pull the buildingbout to attend to the sides I will need to look at securing the Gutters better as well. So much for some of the external glues that come with kits!
