Posted on September 24, 2024
There’s a long-running saga about a pallet-full of old roof tiles that our builders have ‘parked’ with us temporarily for about the past ten years. To be fair, they have used some of them to repair a couple of minor leaks that sprang up during this period, but there are still plenty hanging around.
