Replacing Roof - Part 2: Beam Leveling & Crosswind sheet

It was second day morning when we re-started works on roof replacing. If you haven't already red, read Part 1: Removing Old Roof.

The idea was simple - if we are going to replace roofing, we will follow latest trends, and one of them involves using a crosswind sheet, which protects both against wind and humidity, I bought some super expensive crosswind sheet for about EUR 200 to cover in total about 180m2. 

Since we were replacing roofing by parts today we had to drag a crosswind beam over leveled beams and add lathing.

Berlin Brandenburg Airport

In April 2026, I had my first experience with Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) while flying the Riga–Berlin–Riga route with airBaltic. This was my first time using Berlin’s main international airport, and overall, it left a solid impression—modern, functional, and relatively easy to navigate. About a decade ago, I had the chance to travel through…
