After all these weeks (well not that many ! )the roof was finally finished today at about 1.30. It certainly has been a huge job and not the easiest of roofs according to the roofer. So many angles and gulleys to sort out. Anyway I hope that this will last as long as the previous roof (1924 ) The house should be warmer too as previously there was nothing under the tiles, whereas now we have the roof felt. In the attic it will be much cleaner. Previously I had to cover everything in plastic as the the cement (there is a correct word that I can't think of at the moment!) holding the tiles in place was gradually disintegrating, covering everything in grit and dust. Infact I have to venture up there to clear up ....not looking foreward to that! Tomorrow I'll have to go up on the scaffolding and clean the paint work and windows before the scaffolders take the scaffolding down.
