Maybe that should read "The cat is TYRED".

This is a night flowering plant. Most unusual to see one still open in broad daylight on a sunny day.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

Magnificent looking flower. How big is it?

Steve,
Those are 100mm wide T&G boards behind; so quite a large flower.

been working the old r... out on our new roof ! with a couple of mates @mates rates i.e. wine cheese and bickies at the end of long day , job nearly done.:dance2:


for those into building - had to do heaps of extra work, it was visible even before removal of the 40 year old tiles their were dips in the roof :dodgy: at junction of hip and dutch gable it was at least 100 mm LOW, can be seen partially by the addition of cleats under the new batons - "bugger" was what i thought

robbiegal

thanks
we have been thinking of going colourbond roof - have tiles probably same age
did you change your insulation as well? is the insulation sitting straight under the new roof?
ours sits on top of the plaster  ceiling R5

R5 is pretty good. with corry i would put at least sisalation for condensation under the tin to escape. the 'blanket' you see is R1.3 and combined with ceiling insulation and roof space gives R ? - good enough for our weather here
the tile roof had no sisalation under it , not a requirement for this roof pitch of 21degrees and maybe the building code in the 70's
hope this helps. will try and post before /after photo
cheers

robbiegal

thanks very much for that duggee
