On Tuesday the facias and gutters went up! I had been dying to go out and look at the house all week, but couldn't get out their until Thursday! The facia and gutters looked great.
The roof was due to start on Thursday all pending weather... When I woke on Thursday it was a clear sunny sky! I thought for sure the roofer's would be there. But to my disappointment they weren't! The scaffolding was up ready to go and all the materials on site. Friday was predicted to be rain and storms so I didn't expect anything to start on Friday. I also know it takes two days to put the roof on so didn't think they'd start and leave it over the weekend.
I called the SS on Friday morning to get a new time for when the roof would be started. It was pouring rain so I knew it wouldn't happen today. I have a few extra whirly birds I want installed so it is important to catch them on site. The SS said they were on site today and doing the roof as we speak! I was shocked!!
I bolted in the car and raced down to see the guys. There were 3 young men working on the roof putting the beams across for the colourbond sheets to screw into. I asked one of then if they could put in a few more whirly birds for me in lieu of cash or beer..... He said no worries, we'll take the beer! Sweet! It was too easy! So I left them with 3 whirly birds and 2 cases of beer!
About 2:30pm this arvo we received some torrential rain!! Probably the heaviest rain I've seen in a long time! I wonder how far the guys got with the roof...... I think my insulation is going to be soaked :-/
