Something's Up

22 January 2009
Indeed something's up.

The Americans have an affinity to ask you this pretty weird question which the Asians have caught on. They like to ask you, " What's up?"

To which I never fail to reply, "The roof."


The roof



In a different light


If you take a step back & look, neutral colours are not so bad after all. Off white especially. They have the ability to rouge themselves with whatever shade of colour Nature intended. Can't wait for a pink sunset. Or a crimson dusk!



Streaks of the West sun



I can never tell if my trusses are 900 or 1200 centers. Like I care ...


Apex. I forgot to turn the image clockwise.

Apart from the roof tiles, the builders have nailed in our insulation (emblazoned with Simonds logo on the outside - another advantageous advertizing gig.) When it comes to insulation, I often do not know the answer as to which side should the reflective part face. Inside or outside?

Someone in the buiness confided that the reflective bit should face the outside, to fend away the heat but builders like to install them the other way round so they don't have to be blinded by the reflective foil. Oooh I see ...

So called 6 - star insulation
