It's on it's way - I hate it.

Keeps trying with little blusters, but then dies away into rain. Wish it would just skip this year.....

haha like an led star cloth :-)


I went up to get the christmas decs and the box I had the decs in is a tiny bit damp, not wet just soft :sad:
and i'm noticing a bit of rot in the rafters from the outside, not looking good.

gonna start saving my pennies for a new roof and if it fails in the mean time i'm hoping insurance will cover it! :help:

What sort of roof is it? Would you have a go at doing it yourself or get pro's in?

I've always fancied doing a full re-roof.

I dont think i will be doing it myself after thinking about it :-)

Sounds difficult - plus you'd have neighbours to be concerned about if it went TU.

Just looked at mine on Google Earth and thought "hmmm, perhaps not the BEST roof to learn on....
