A new roof at last

I’ve been nervous about rain for a while now, ever since we had a big storm and the rain poured down through the downlights in the ceiling.  So every time it rains I start listening for the sound of water dripping onto wet carpet.

Several times we’ve had roof tilers in to repair the tiled roof, and yet each time there’s another large storm we get more water in.

So finally we decided to replace the roof with one made from Colourbond steel.  Lovely large sheets of unbroken steel from the ridgecapping to the gutters.



The installers also added a sheet of R1.5 insulation between the metal and the roof battens, so that it is actually quieter in the rain that the old tile roof was.  On  the one hot day that we've had so far this Spring, the upstairs bedrooms were also cooler.

Pardon the mess, but Matt had some mates around, so wet towels, etc, were strewn around waiting for someone else to put them away.
