Through the roof! ๐
Yesterday while I was at work, the neighbour across the road came over to tell my grandmother (at my house babysitting 13 month old) that there are roof tiles lifted and a big hole that will let in a lot of the rain forecast for the afternoon!?!?
She had a look and it was pretty easy to see. At the front of the house.
Luckily my BIL is a builder and once I'd had the phone calls at work, my sis phoned her hubby to pop over and check it out.
He said that tiles had been pulled off enough to let a person slip through! He replaced the tiles and sealed some cracked ones next to the removed ones.
About 20 mins later we had a quick but heavy downpour of rain so happy that he fixed it.....
But now I'm worried! Why would someone want to come in through the roof? It's pretty open at the front of the house, surely a would-be thief would go around the back where it's less open and break in through a window or back glass door?
I had trouble sleeping last night, and feel very uneasy today ๐
I'm home now til Mon, need to speak to neighbours and go to local Police station to make a report.

Kylie, be careful. This is what happened to my cousin's daughter. An ex hid in the roof and you might remember what happened when she went out with someone else 6 months after breaking with him - a real case of fatal attraction. Is J mentally stable?
thanks Sandy.
i had my doubts about his mental stability, he's taken the break up so hard.
i know he has been parked in another street watching me and tries to keep me at home waiting for him to visit hiss daughter, if he knows I've got a P-T apt he will deliberately come late!
he has ranted about me wanting to see " other guys" but not shown any signs of violence against me. I don't feel at all frightened of him, just feel sorry for him.
all I can really do is report every/anything that concerns me.
i just can't believe he would do something like that?!
the thing is, once they are in the roof, they can easily get into the house, through the manhole. Where is your manhole? In the garage or in the main part of the house?
I suppose BIL checked the roof cavity to see that no-one was still up there?
the manhole is in my sons bedroom!!
we converted the single garage into a bedroom for him when I fell pregnant, as its under the same roof so easily done without looking bodgey.
yes BIL checked, but maybe not into every corner?
the ex came over for a visit with daughter last night so if it was him? He wasn't trapped in there.
seems a lot of effort to get into a house, wouldn't it be easier to jimmy a bathroom window or something? also odd they wouldn't do it at a more less obvious place like at the back of the house if they chose to break in that way.
i know, I thought the same!
thats why my dad thought it had to be the ex.
