    The pointing on that small gable isnt the best and i know we use strong mixes in roofing, 3 to 1 normally but that cement is pure grey, looks like 1 to 1 on that man! Im not knocking the job because its clearly a nice roof and has had some money spent on it, small tile with bonnets always look beautiful, just seems a very strong mix and a little more effort could have gone into the pointing there. Its also nice to see pointing, i guess its becoming a lost art as normally its dry ridge and verge. I wonder how many young roofers can confidently lay a hip straight, level, pointed nicely and without compo all over the tiles lol. The hardest part of roofing and not too common anymore sadly. I wonder how many could load a roof out without a bumper too! A truly horrible experience in small tile or worse, welsh slate! My back and shoulder are a mess thanks to roofing 23 years ago when no one used a bumper. I had 6 shops in a row, simple up and over job, welsh slate, 3 story victorian buildings in chapel ash wolves. All the slates carried by hand and all the old slate carried down as the boss wanted to sell them to reclamation yard. Damn near killed me!

    • @slbleadworks
      @slbleadworks  6 місяців тому

      The roofer that done this job is the best I’ve ever seen. He is very neat and does everything properly. He also only uses traditional methods. Doest’t use a nail gun, verges will be pointed etc. and he can definitely run a hip and ridge straight.
      I can’t see him doing a strong mix like 1 to 1. Maybe it was the dye in the mortar or something.

      @@slbleadworks yea sorry pal, wasn't berating his work, I also wasn't referring to him about the hips etc, I just meant in general, since the invention of the plastic. It's sad really, I used to do remedial work for symphony kitchens, putting their work right on new builds. I used to see plastic chimneys and plastic canopies. I couldn't believe a molded plastic chimney and canope was being put on a house! Pretty soon everything will be a prefab part that is screwed to a prefab structural piece to create even better mass production of houses! That's where we will see real trades dying off and once they are gone, it will be real hard to bring it back!

      @@slbleadworks Well hope the MRI scan shows what is wrong if they can pick up anything of course. Think i have said this or maybe hinted that a good chiropractor can usually tell what side of the back or spine you have a problem ..BY the way you walk... It seems if you lean to one side when walking then they can sort of pinpoint what is wrong and apply a fix by manipulation of your back. However as per one of my last comments it could be something other than a back problem like my niece she had an abscess on her lower back so it is good you are getting a MRI scan. If I remember correctly if it is the NHS that is doing the scan you may not get results right away the scan results may ( i say may) go back to your doctor or back specialist (whoever made the appointment for you) and in turn they will tell you the results. If you are going to meet anyone take a notepad and pen to write down what is said (sometimes you cannot take it all in or forget some details so notepad good idea). nowadays these appointments are hard to come by so take notes. Had more than a few MRI scans nothing to them no pain just takes pictures of inside your body
