Steam bent shingles

[88v8]

No, not an ailment.

My builder no show again, so I'm out there on an 'amateur hour' exercise trying to work out how the eaves course/creasers should be battened on the front slope of the garage - we omitted creasers on the back - and I come in to do some Googling, and I find this
