It stayed too foggy for too long yesterday to get any decent shots of the roof work that was done. I’ve now managed to process some, however, so here they are starting with some general shots of the front elevation.<\/p>\n

Next a couple of shots of the living room gable end showing how they’ve finished the edge of the roof. <\/p>\n

I preferred an arrangement with a roof overhang because although most ‘pavillon’ style houses here like mine have the type of edge finish shown in the above shots, due to its proximity to the surface of the wall it seems to allow rainwater to pour down onto it. This eventually washes away some of the colour of the Cr\u00e9pi plaster allowing the outline of the block work underneath to show through. <\/p>\n

I’ve spotted a couple of broken tiles as shown in the next two pics and they’ll have to be replaced whatever happens. They’ve been damaged by the roof workers walking over them which it’s unwise to do when you’re dealing with any kind of tile that doesn’t have a fairly flat profile.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Now some shots taken from the rear which can’t be tiled until the changes to the structure that I’ve agreed with the builder have been completed.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up is a closer shot showing how the hip on the joint between the two front faces of the roof is being constructed.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And a couple more general shots to finish off with.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In general, I’m very happy with the style and appearance of the roof tiles. However, something I’ve noticed from looking around the building is that after the roofers have cut and trimmed various tiles they’ve just randomly chucked the unwanted pieces onto the ground behind the house. As a result the large heap of topsoil that was put to one side and was ready to be reused at the end of the construction is now strewn with pieces of roof tile.<\/p>\n

I’ll have to ask for them to be removed because as I know from my old house, if they are left in the soil they eventually have a habit of working their way back to the surface and are then not only unsightly but can also damage things like lawnmowers. I don’t know, if it’s not one it’s another \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
