And no automatic hot water either. What we did have was 39mm of rain! And it’s still p155ing down outside and I don’t think that it’s ever going to stop.<\/p>\n
Having rerouted the guttering the water was coming down the verandah roof at such a speed that it was shooting over the top of the guttering. Putting a slate up to block the flow caused the guttering to overflow. But the water butts are full so that is something.<\/p>\n
We made great progress with this roof today until about 15;30 when the rain started. But it wasn’t the rain that stopped us, it was the lightning. When you are working on a metal scaffolding and climbing up and down an aluminium ladder then lightning is the last thing that you want. And so we tidied up and called it a day.<\/p>\n
But that wasn’t all of it. About half an hour later Lieneke came round in a panic. A rock had fallen off the wall and through one of the tiles on her bathroom roof and her bathroom was flooded in the storm. And so there I was in the pouring rain wrestling with the left-over roofing sheets from my barn, getting them up onto her bathroom roof. In the thunder and lightning I might add.<\/p>\n
So now I’m soaking wet and I’ve run out of dry clothes.<\/p>\n
