The weather has not been kind to our tradesmen, they have been working from 5am to 10am, and on the weekends. The week after these temperatures it got to 42 degrees two days in a row.
November 5th – Roof tiles arrive
November 9th – They are working fast despite the heat
November 13th – The bricks have been magically re-arranged
November 14th – It is so hot, nothing is happening. We are sleeping in the lounge, as this photo by my 3 year old shows. No idea what ungodly hour of the morning he took this photo as we are all asleep, except the baby that is.
November 17th – Brick work starts!
I am not happy with the brown ends that are showing. Have spoken to the SS about getting them replaced. My Mum thinks they give the house ‘character’ I didn’t pay $6500 extra for brown bricks. We want, grey, grey and more grey!
November 20th – More bricks, and a power box.
November 23rd – Am suffering a severe bout of gastro. Hubby took some progress pictures for me. I would have sent him back for more today, but he has gastro to :( Hopefully tomorrow I will be alright to drive.
We are having black guttering and down pipes, so hopefully that will break the grey up enough.
We deliberately choose grey roof tiles to reflect heat and to lower heat absorption.
