However just to be fair I am sure there were cbs as well, just heard her say that randomly this morning and thought of this thread. Thanks for letting me know TashnStu77. Maybe this is a sign that I should go with colorbond!

I'm a tad jealous )))) HD Do you have solar on the roof, because if its not a laying defect it looks almost like someone has been walking all over the roof in the mid section of the tile (weakest… 2 1931 Your house roof does not show rusting other than some surface rust on the flashings. In my opinion you dont need to replace or paint the roof other than treat surface rust… 1 10214 You should pressure clean your roof first and make sure the paint you buy also is anti mould. 4 18573 |
