Nightly Goodnight Everyone

[dream4red]

Dot, you must be getting close to home now. xxxx

Hope you have no further luggage problems for this trip David and Terrie. Hoping that you have the best holiday ever.

Shirley, glad that the rain held off for you. Sounds like you had a really good day, with lots of gossip and catchups.

Thanks for the thoughts Terry and David. The roof is about 35 years old cement tile and it probably is waterlogged from the monsoonal rains that we had last year. The current problem is where the tiles stop and the galvanised verandah awning is attached. I am hoping that it's an obvious fix of newer flashing or something similar. Terry the noise of a full iron roof would be horrible (the verandah is more than enough) and really with 24 solar panels, it would be an impossible task to re-roof the house. We aren't made of money, so that is not something that we would consider lightly.

Good to see you here Keith, so good morning to you too.

Today I had a Dot sleep in until 11 AM. That was unusual. As I was eating breakfast the phone asked were we able to have a surprise visit from our ex-tenant? I was suddenly dressed with hair being done when she called at the door. After a couple of hours and coffee break, we had caught up with a lot of her news. She is missing us being right next door when she needed advice or toilet paper, but all is well in her world, so we felt it was a good visit.

After lunch, I sat down to get the happy pants all hemmed. That was a very long slow job. Much of the fabrics had very different textures and they didn't want to be sewn in straight lines. But the job is now done and I can wear them now without tripping over the bottoms of them.

Night all xxx

Over the years I have lived and worked under various types of tin roof's, or is it rooves. Help me out please Ray, when you get back online. Factories with no insulation are by far the loudest, and houses with sarking paper and insulation under a tiled roof are the quietest, and are my favourite to listen to the pitter patter of falling rain.
Deborah, if your home just needs a section of flashing replaced, then I'd go as far as to say, you've dodged a bullet. I hope that is the case.
Edit, I left a few words out.

Remember having to lift the line of tiles at the back of our house and add a bead of silicon to fill in the gap between the facia board and the tin when I redid the roof on our back verandah on the house in Lake Illawarra, even though it had the upturned bits in each valley in corrugated iron, it still ran in and soaked everything along the back of the house ....

I think it was around $3,000 to get our roof painted, but removing and reinstalling solar would add a lot to that ....

If you do decide to go down that path, don't let them tell you they can not refit the old panels by law, that is simply fraud, it clearly states in the Clean Energy Council PDF that removing and refitting the existing panel for the purpose of roof repair is quite acceptable, they just want to get the credits for the new solar panels and make the extra $$ on the sale .....
