Noise!

 

Noise!

We are having a lot of work done on the ageing roof of our house. Today it has involved the erection of scaffolding, which is a very noisy process.

The scaffolders have been drilling, sawing, screwing, and dropping scaffolding for several hours now. The dogs have given up barking. I wish I could say my head had given up aching.

 Later, maybe . . .

Tomorrow, a huge skip is being delivered to collect all the rubbish which will come from the removal of damp felt, membranes, timbers, and birds’ empty nests. The tiles will be reused, so that’s something to celebrate.

At least we shall have a leak-proof roof by the time all the workmen have gone, by the end of the week. It is not what we were planning but sometimes these events are thrust upon us.

Happy Days are here again!

  1. You certainly don't want a wet house so you put up with some pain.

  3. We had a new roof put on last year. It was really, really expensive, hopefully it will last a long time lol

  4. You will be happy when you know that you will be snug, warm and dry for the rest of your days. That’s worth a little noise and disruption.
