“I’m daring people to jump off roofs with me, only you can calm me down. I’m aiming too high, soothe me.”

The Bristle roof tiles have started going up. It changes the whole atmosphere of the house – I have shade! And an almost completed roof.

The colour is Magnum & looks much darker & nicer now they’re installed. I was a little worried it would be too light when the tiles were delivered, but it’s come up brilliantly. Tick for roof tiles. Now, let’s hope the rest of the colours match in with it. *grinz*

Darkness underneath the roof!

Casualties flung down in my future driveway.

Residuals? The tile escalator has come & gone, so maybe these are my spares.

Walk the plank off my house boat?

I need to grow a few feet! An awkward shot of the northern side of my roof tiles.

The angles are so tight, I can only snap a small portion of the rear roof tiles.

Looking up to the peak over the kitchen.

Too short to see the top of the tiles, I duck under the eves and snap the roof tiles above bedroom 2’s window.

In progress – a gap above the portico & master bedroom.

The roof tiles cover the southern corner of the house, with a gap where the angle changes.

Woohoo! Progress. They worked out how to put the rubbish in the cage, not on it.

The roof tiles installed above the portico.

Now I know what the wood is for!

They’ve cut it up & used it as braces to attach the roof tiles to the trusses.

Saw dust collects in the corner of the garage.

A shard of light decends from the ridge where the roof tiles meet.

The roof tiles above the study, pantry & kitchen.

Roof tiles over the hallway, POV front entrance.

Roof tiles installed over the pipes in the ensuite & bathroom.

Roof tiles come to a three point join, POV study.

Roof tiles over the laundry, with a few yet to slide into place.

Roof tiles where the future solar panel will go. I’m glad they cover the whole space under the panel.

Close up of three point join.

Roof tiles over the family & dining rooms.

A single shard of tile inside. Well done, roofers!

Roof tiles along the hallway, POV from dining room door.

Northern side of the roof tiles, after the sun had gone behind the clouds for a bit. A few stray tiles for installation.

A pile of roof tiles above the garage awaiting installation.

The portico still needs a bit of work in the roof tile department.

Caught up again, almost! The two Chelseas with roof tiles partially installed.
