Plus, as they pointed out, during the wild weather (which we tend to get here) you don't have to worry about half your tiles blowing away!! Also someone showed me how easy it is to break into homes here through the roof. Our electrician had to go up into the loft to do some electrical work...did he go through the ceiling hatch??? Nooooo he just took some tiles off the roof and in he popped!! :scared:
If we ever build here, I'm having a colourbond roof!! It's only down to our shoddy landlord who was too tight to put in some insulation that put us off!!
love sophia xx

I also like the noises the roof makes as it heats up and expands on hot days in summer....
