I didn't capture what happened between DSCF7217 & DSCF7218 but we all
heard the crash. The two guys were perched up there when it happened
and seemed to continue as if nothing had happened.

The property owners don't seem to be home. It's getting dark and they
are cementing the bricks back. Oh wait they've got some tiles.

I'll keep you posted.

That's a rancid knackered stack! I do not know why they ar epatching
it
up - it wants taking off and rebuilding from scratch...




It's 1639, Manchester and little more than a crescent moon to see by.
They are still up there, presumably trying to make good the damage
before the owner returns.


Judging by some roofing work I had done recently, a good few days making
those tiles good. And that's assuming they know what they're doing . . .



Yikes! Makes me shiver to see how they work. The same way I did. I hated
those f***in Rosemary tiles. They can look quite strong from above but
the damage occurs on the underside. Sometimes to the extent that a
finger could be pushed through the top surface to find the body of the
tile none existent.

I have dealt with bad stacks but I would have walked away from that.

Here is a closeup I took in 2014

What would be the recommended way of taking it down?


Brick by brick with a runway to slide the bricks down
one at a time with sides so the brick cant come off it.
