Well the tilers commenced on-site today and i drove down in the arvo, fully expecting the tiles to be just laid out in nice little piles on the rooftop...
What i saw actually made me gasp!!!!
The roof was more than half finished!!!!
The roof was more than half finished!!!!
The tilers didn't get it all done today though.....not that they were slacking by any means either.... it was a stinking hot 34 degree day in Melb so i can understand the need for these guys to call it quits for the day.
Also met our S/S the lovely "D" on-site and he came out to chat for a bit He wanted the tilers to be finished laying the tiles today as the brickies are scheduled to re-commence on-site tomorrow. They can't work underneath while the tilers work on top, too dangerous if something falls off the roof! One of the brickies assistants was there today preparing/measuring the front bedroom section of the house....
The roof tiles we selected have a nice shine to them which we preferred over the matt varieties. That and the fact that no one has the same tile profile as us makes us stand out from every other house in the street. I like that.
The leftover bricks from the garage have been stacked at intervals around the front of the house and we should see some brickwork to that area tomorrow.
We have 3 brickies i think, well 3 guys worked on our garage and their work is pretty darn good. Our neighbour's house had one older guy working on it and it took him weeks to finish.... So these guys should knock our house over in a week or so i would think...
The front door (slab repair) still needs to be poured.
We recieved the Engineers Report today which i will fax off to Kevin for evaluation and subsequent inspection on-site. We don't want anything to hold it up, but on the other hand, we want it done correctly!!! This is what it looked like this afternoon:
Everything is going ahead at full steam!!!!!!!
GO HENLEY GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO HENLEY GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK - how did you get the photos of the roof from a height? Camera on a stick? Ladder perhaps?
LOL, hi Perry, no Ian climbs on the capped paling fence and takes the photos from up there. Very unique view of the house from those points.
the steel they are using for the repair looks like it is already rusted. I would think that considering they need to have the slab as solid as it can be in this patched up area that they wouldnt use second hand material.
