We knew that it had to come, sooner or later - a New Roof that is; well, at least a refurbished one, anyway. What with the fact that the roof was made up of aging asbestos sheeting and with the reality that it seems impossible to stop the delightful tenants and/or guests at the adjacent apartment block from delighting in dropping large rocks through the roof, we were forced to take remedial action so as to avoid a health hazard for all.

On October 3rd, the current asbestos sheeting roof was encapsulated with a fibre glass membrane. With a bit of the Irish, the roof should now last for many years to come as long as it is not disturbed. Probably time to get the bible out and start praying but we will start with crossing fingers and toes.
