No, mainly it's moss lumps, and soil generated by the rotting moss. And I've never had my gutters clogged, it all just washes down the drain.. Why is a concrete roof tile designed to wear away? Presumably it's impossible to design it not to. Lasting 100 years seems pretty good to me. -- Never play leapfrog with a unicorn! |

He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked her, "Grandma, what's that called when 2 people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?" She was a little taken, but she decided to just tell him the truth. "It's called sexual intercourse, darling". Little Tony just said, "Oh, OK," and went back outside to play with the other kids. A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, "Grandma, it isn't called sexual intercourse. It's called "Bunk Beds". And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you." |

What the hell did he do, use a huge amount of pressure or what?
I'm sure some people down my road have cleaned roves with pressure washers with no more than a bit of ridge time repairs required and some fillets.

I believe fly-ash from burning powdered coal is a useful constituent. |

It removes the coating on the tiles and makes them more porous, shortening their lifetime. You might not know immediately.
Anyway I told them to take them to trading standards or sue them (her sister's a lawyer....) Actually they only live just down the road, and another neighbour had it done too. We could organise a lynching. On Mon, 14 Mar 2016 09:52:52 -0000, Brian Gaff wrote: What the hell did he do, use a huge amount of pressure or what?
