Roof renovations

This passed long weekend was filled with chores around the garden and Johnny’s got stuck into the roof renovations yet again. Everything takes ten times longer than what you think when you are renovating. Its very frustrating! This is especially true for us when the renovations are done in between a very pressured job, which happens to be from Monday to Saturday. If I can offer any small piece of advice from my experience with this house, it is that one must add on much more extra time to allow for the unforseen when planning a time line. However, as long as it has taken us, I can now say the end is here, well at least for the Reno part. The roof repairs are done, the new boards are up in place, the new capping is on. The silicon has filled every existing hole and the job looks good. Painting, mmm well we haven’t even got to that part yet. In the process, the telephone cable must have been disturbed and there was no dial tone for two days. After searching high and low the telephone cable was found and re-connected. The telephone is back in business.
