The Roof

The roof over the garage and one of the bedrooms had a different type of tiling, which broke up the lovely line of the slope.  Also, rain got in under the tiles when it blew in from the east.  So we decided the roof needed changing to match the rest.

Like the cottage, the new tiling consists of a flat under tile with two curved tiles lipped over the top.  They match the old roof tiles pretty well, though we may need to paint some of the pinker ones with yoghurt to encourage the mold to grow quickly and dull them down.

The builders removed the roof just as it started to snow and worked through heavy rain to complete it - fortunately the silver underlay went down before the worst of the weather.
