    Default The roof is coming off...

    A message to the dude that invented/sold/fitted fake rooftiles made of pressed metal:

    MATE, WHEN THE REVOLUTION COMES.....I WILL BE HUNTING YOU DOWN.

    ...and you will be placed against the wall next to your best mate (the dickhead who invented/sold/fitted fake brick wall cladding) where I will take abject delight in dumping a roof load of your poxy pressed metal tiles on your head!!

    ...that's better.

    Normal programming will resume when I've recovered.<SIGH<SIGH>
    Ours is not to reason why.....only to point and giggle.

    Okay!! We have a new roof....

    But first we had to remove TWO old rooves.

    First the tin tiles.......


    plus a layer of hardwood battens...


    then the final layer of corrugated iron.


    Repeated out the front....


    Then fit the new roof...

    First out the back....


    Then out front...


    So how did it turn out?

    Out the front...without the new cladding...it's a bit like putting a new cap on a broken bottle


    But out back......it shows real potential!!

    Dude, your making me tired just reading your thread. Great work.
    I'm going for a nap.

    Doc.
    All decks should be stained....black white black white black white.......after all it would match anything!
    All roofs should be covered or tiled.....black colorbond, silver mist, black colorbond, silver mist, black colorbond.........after all, we wouldn't want a mismatch!

    Further progress has been made!!

    Firstly.......we wrapped the rear in corrugated iron



    Then added a couple of doors and a window or two...



    then removed an internal wall...


    ...on the same day as a massive dust storm (which wasn't good since the main south facing window had not been fitted)



    So after the shovels and brooms had been put away and the last window fitted and trimmed it looks a bit like this...
