What? What's the problem with going topless? You what? Oh....I see....! You thought.......
No! I'm talking about our house! Yeah, the roof's being fixed!
It's great fun, banging and crashing all day, dirt, dust and ceiling filler falling all around us, the wind whistling in through the gaps.....anyway, it's just a job, that's got to be done, and we're doing it....the only worry we had was that the guys would accidentally smash holes through the ceiling boards,, but Osman assured us this would not happen! (oh yeah??!)
So for those with an interest in roof fixing.....here are the pics!

the back roof
Osman's plan to fix the hole his guys smashed through the ceiling board in the lounge...
Then, I just thought this was interesting, we got an old geyser out of the roof that had obviously been there for years and couldn't be removed. The label on it (see below) says "Bulawayo, Kitwe, Salisbury" then "Rhodesia"! How long ago was that?!! (Kitwe being in Zambia, of course, and Bulawayo and Salisbury - Harare now?? - being in Zimbabwe!)
