I do wish ....

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

Indeed. It's the same old thing........expansion and contraction at different rates from the surrounding materials. Where you are pretty certain to get failures are if a couple of edges of the felt are restrained by abbutment walls. On a flat independant roof, touching nothing, a properly constructed torched-on felt roof can last a long time. They are, however, more expensive than EPDM, so it's hard to see the justification these days.

My luck with the weather seems to be holding :?

The last few days it’s been red hot while I chopped out a wall & 2 concrete floors

Then yesterday mixed up a cubic metre of screed & laid it.

After 3 days of sweating profusely I finally get a day off to enjoy in the garden & the weather is as miserable as sin :evil:

You're on the wrong side of Northumberland Roger, really warm over here yesterday and looks very similar this morning, time to pack your bags.
