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.

there's one thing I don't understand - when you take the tiles off the roof their are battens running between the main roof trusses - you'd have to be pretty small to squeeze in between them - or is your roof different to the type I'm thinking about??
Im not sure about diff roofs?
i will keep trying to load the pics...
for some odd reason the iPad won't co operate!
i can post a pic of my roof from a week ago (my dad asked for me to send him a pic once the lawns guy mowed) zoomed in large full sizes pic, and then the hole pic from BIL.....
Gimme a sec....
So this was last weekend, the hole was in between windows and a few metres back from the edge.
This is not the pic I wanted to share as he'd already resealed and relodged the cracked tiles on the sides of the hole and this angle isn't as good. Keeps showing a blank pic with the other shot.?? Grrrr!
i don't know if someone got to the " walking in my roof cavity" stage, but a builder says they didnt blow off, def been hand removed....
If they had blown off or been vibrated out I doubt they'd be stacked?
No ducted air cond. No trains close. Could be a low plane I guess but we rarely see that here (western Sydney), No hurricanes or gale force winds. No earthquakes.
and no one else in the street has any similar damage from nature.
ive thought long n hard about every possibility, I'm baffled that its in front, I can't believe the ex would do this?! But scary to think a stranger / thief.
its very frustrating!
It does look like the tiles have been removed by hand Kylie ๐
What room is below? Is the man hole positioned underneath?
my bedroom underneath
my bedroom underneath
sorry didn't finish, the manhole is in the old garage witch is now Mr 13's bedroom after reno.
