Getting it off

Sunshining again so today's the day we start taking the roof off. We have agreed a date with the builder for him to come back and start doing the building work so we have to be ready for then!
All hands on deck, well, on the roof. The roof is made up of concrete/asbestos sheeting about 30 years old we think and is held on with bolts into a wooden frame. So first job is to unscrew the bolts, you wouldn't believe how many there are on a 120sq metre roof. Believe me its a lot my arms were aching from undoing them or perhaps it was from hanging on so i didn't slide off the
roof? The sheets themselves are about 6' long 3' wide and quite heavy we had to be careful not to break them because of the dust. It may have asbestos grains in it! Finally all off and the old supports for them off as well. phew what a job that was. Just waiting for the builder to turn up now! Waiting, waiting,waiting, thunderstorms, waiting, downpours,waiting,raining, the house is by now completely soaking wet inside. Some of the plaster has come off the walls its a right mess. After numerous phone calls and messages the builder turns up FOUR weeks later as if nothing was the matter. My French not good enough to swear at him but I think he got he message we not happy bunnies. The external building work was soon done and the roof went on in double quick time but if he thinks he is being paid straight away he is wrong. He can wait just like we had to. Petty I know but feel better for it. Next the plumber......
