Roofing







The roofers have been working for a few days now. The result is a roof shape at the front and back of the house, which is giving me a much better idea of how it will look when it's finished. The brickies are still on site - brickwork to the gable ends still isn't quite complete - Tate's assessment of the situation is the same every day, when he always tells me 'there's two more days work for us.'




This morning I noticed the Royal Mail fitting a new post box outside the house. The post


box was knocked over by some unspecified truck yesterday - the builders are blaming Travis Perkins, but the man in the bathroom shop lives further down the road and he's heard it was Huws Gray. Whoever mowed the bloody thing down, I'm grateful not to have to deal with the wrath of the neighbours, most of whom make some sort of daily pilgrimage to post letters. I'm impressed anyone can mow a postbox down to be honest - a true 'Fawlty Towers' moment and I wish I'd been there to see it.

  1. Many people these days are reinvesting in their homes by remodeling or renovating them. A great way to add lasting beauty and gain curb appeal, is to rework or redo the exterior of the house. There are literally hundreds of options when it comes to changing the look of your home. Roofing, windows, trims, wall coverings... the list is endless.
