On the Tiles

Well, under them actually.

The roof carpenters came and did their thing, then the plumber and then the electricians tried to undo all the carpenters work. And then, finally, the tiles were deliverd, approximately 4,500 of them.

Bristile 'Truffle' in the Vienna profile.

So, the roof went from looking like this 'bad hair day';

To this, tiles laid but ridge capping needs to be installed and cemented in;

To the practically completed version which looks like this:

Rayleen and I have a few issues with the tiles over the main bedroom having a lot of chips and contact points showing - making them look second-hand to be honest. But an email to SPH has assured me that representatives from Bristile will inspect the roof closer to completion, replace chipped or cracked tiles, apply what is known as a 'cold glaze' and we will have new tiles that look like new!

Plumbing Finished

All the gas and water plumbing has been completed today and the external taps work :) Am not rapt with the way the gas pipe and a water pipe run on the outside of the garage. I realise that with a single leaf wall then this is the only way, but am hoping that some sort of cover is installed over the two of them.

AND

There was a site clean today, the back and the al fresco side have been cleaned of broken bricks and the general rubbish that accumulates, and neatly piled at the front of the house! :)

Now it's the sparkies' turn!!
