Month: February 2011

Back around Christmas I did some roof maintenance, the ridge cap tiles (in particular) were letting water in and badly needed re-pointing. So off to Bunnings to purchase a bucket of Selleys Point Works Gen II.

and then up on the roof on a cooler day with the bucket of pointing mix, small trowel and knee pads etc.

Above: No need to be to fussy up here it’s a two story house, so I put on plenty. This stuff is good, great bonding and very strong – like granite. I still need to do the corners but before this the Dutch gables need my attention.

Above: this is the south end Dutch gable.

Above: This is the north end, nowhere near as bad but still needs to be replaced.
The weather boards need to be cleaned up and painted as well.

I am tempted to pressure wash the tiles but something tells me to just leave them alone. As I said it’s a two story house and you can’t really see much of the roof from ground level.
