OK. so DIY wise this was a big job as the unit that left, trashed the place and the winter months were approaching fast and the rain was going to come down hard..
we first ripped everything (sh**ty) down and stitched together 6 waterproof ponchos
then we (I) went on the roof and nailed and sandbagged the ponchos up there..
then we (Liam RIP) gave the place a nice tidy and swept it using a piece of cardboard nailed to some wood..
it worked brilliantly and kept the rain off...
now, you may be thinking at this point.. 'whats dangerous about that?'
if you look at picture 2, i am not only on top of a mud built roof, i am wearing neither body armour or a helmet, and when i was about to descend i had a look around and noticed, i was neither covered by the outer perimeter wall or behind any type of cover, but could clearly see for miles and stood out like a sore thumb in one of the most kinetic (gun battles) Forward Operating Base's in Afghanistan
go on say it... idiot
