Tiling Drama.

Our existing roof is quite old with lichen all over it. It doesn't leak, it's original and as they say "if it ain't broke then don't fix it." In short I like it the way it is.

So when it comes to tiling the new extension we thought it best to try and match the existing tiles with some readily sourced reclaimed tiles. Sounded easy enough, right?

We gave an original tile to the tile people, and sure enough that afternoon two pallets of reclaimed tiles arrived - beautiful.

The following day the tilers arrived (couple of nice young guys) and they proceeded to get all the tiles up on the roof to be laid the following day. However the next day I see them up there shaking their heads and shrugging their shoulders. The tiles don't fit!

So down they all had to come. New tiles needed to be matched and delivered. So what should have been a day and half job has turned into a week long affair.

These thing can happen sometimes.
