DAY 30 - A closer inspection of our roof

The solar panels & hot water didn't go up today, so I guess it will be early next week.  The only new thing is the temporary plastic downpipe hoses they put on.

We had a better look at the roof today, inside and outside.  Thankfully Daniel was the photographer for the outside!















Is that how they leave it?  I had thought what they stick the capping tiles down with would match the roof colour.






I hope they clean their rubbish off the roof so it doesn't end up in our tank.




There's a few broken tiles that they should fix next week.  Not sure how we bring that up with them if they don't...
'oh - by the way, when we were up on the scaffold we saw some broken tiles'.  That will go down well!






We also retrieved the offending tyre from the neighbouring property.  That as a bit of a workout...

The rogue tyre!



Looking up to our land from the gully


Today the house burnt down of a family in our ward.  How devastating for them - they pretty much lost everything.  But the family is safe, and that's all that really matters.  We love our new home and the land, but it's just 'stuff'.  We would be really sad if we lost it.  But we could build another house - you can't replace family...



168 days left but I hope it's less!

    I hope those broken tiles up on the roof were replaced, and the debris they left was cleaned up. The lifespan of the roof depends on the condition of the roof tiles, and how those tiles were installed by the contractor. Good thing you inspected the roof; it could’ve been left that way without you knowing about it. Roofers should work precisely and meticulously. #Joann Winton

    You could replace the broken roof tiles yourself, since it's fairly easy and simple. Or, you could hire someone to repair these for you to make use of its warranty. Although it would cost you less to nothing, the downside in DIY repairs is that it would make the warranty void. Have you repaired or replaced the tiles already?

    I wonder if the tiles were already broken before installing them on the roof. They shouldn’t have installed them if they have seen it in the first place. If you did not notice those tiles, they could’ve been there without you knowing it, and might cause future expensive and extensive damage in the future. Anyhow, you have a lovely roof. It’s beautiful, except for the broken ones. Any plans on replacing those soon? ->Tedrick’s Roofing
