    Z Its a concrete roof ... Would I do the same thing with that ?

    You need to find what makes it waterproof. Some roofs it's a membrane. Others just have bitumen/tar poured into the cracks. There's bound to be other systems I haven't heard of.

    If it's a membrane, make sure it's not punctured. If it's bitumen, then make sure it hasn't cracked.

    Well staff eventually came in and I got home ... Slept till 5pm then got up for something to eat

    Beanie yes we do want one ... We could survive without one but mr el insisted we bought a trailer when we got the car ... As he didn't want to out the logs that we use for camping into the boot of the car and he didn't want to fill the car we just bought up with junk

    So we now have a trailer and no tow bar ... So we will get the tow bar and I will skim the money from a few of the different pots that I have for the various things ( ie diesel etc)

    And I'm insisting that we get rid of a load of rubbish that is cluttering the garage that mr el refuses to put in the car cause he wants to keep it as good as he can for as long as he can ( he has washed it and hoovered it a few times .. I was quite shocked lol)

    Ohhh I wouldn't say he was fantastic at it rising ... He just really seems to want to keep this one as good as he can so that it lasts I think :)

    But he does a good job still ... Good enough for me anyway

    I know Butti ... There seems to be this belief that it's ok we're just the night shift and have no need to go home or sleep or anything
