This was taken yesterday. Roof tiling was supposed to start last week. We seem to be at a similar stage Dutchy - either we have been going a bit quicker or your builders have slowed down. Have you noticed though that every weekend is fine and mile and the crap weather is Mon-Fri?

Traditional in SA - I have heard the weather patterns shift in a 7 1/2 day cycle.

LOL - I was in QLD past two weekends so I cant really be completely expert on the weather in this timeframe but it was more of a general observation of the weather since Anzac Day.

Guys & Gals,
Don't forget to get your external perimeter treated for termite prevention PRIOR to having your paths laid (whether it's concrete or paving).
Of course I can be pm'd for any help/quotes/info needed 8)
