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. https://www.flickr.com/gp/g3zvt/4RR2U8 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. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

And that's assuming they know what they're doing . . . -- Cheers, Rob |

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. ....Ray. |

I'm sure it will look super when the sun comes out - all the bricks nicely true, properly spaced, and no cement on the brick faces... ;-) Please do take a close-up tomorrow morning... I'm sure it must be too cold for mortaring up there anyway, so it will break apart really easily, ready to be redone. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

It almost calls for a web cam. :-) last night and today's added to same album. https://www.flickr.com/gp/g3zvt/b63096 The dark ones were taken at 4:30, in reality it was almost totally dark. Check out the EXIF. Great series of pictures, the little detail I love is the aerolelastic securing the ladder to the window frame, they obviously take health and safety very seriously. Have you contacted the council about this, they have inspectors for jobs like this and would probably take enforcement action so the job was done properly. |

It's a testament to the days of quality and regional diversity of Independent Television. Oh yes , I can remember installing a rotator so I could receive the adjoining region and maybe get a different film to watch. Was sharing a house with a load of mates at the time and "Happy Days" was one of the popular things we watched , HTV showed it just after or it may have been before Southern so we watched two different editions from different seasons. They were a considerable time apart , we watched two Christmas editions one day and the age difference was considerable , basically the character Joanie was a child in one and a teenager in the other. The asbestos cement flue is intriguing, is it where there used to be a back street Tripe maker or something? G.Harman |

Funnily enough it turned out that the guy who had them put up, when I moved here in 1976, was a colleague of mine at Granada Rentals. I can't remember anything about him now. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |
