Article 26: Tiles in the rain

Yesterday, under a light, steady rain, we started to install the tiles. We might as well say it right away: it was more difficult than imagined.

First, it’s very heavy: around 20 kg per pack of 7 tiles. There were 48 packages per pallet and 4 pallets, almost 200 packages to distribute on the roof! Then, the alignment: the carpenter had drawn a red mark, but with the rain, we could no longer see it. Finally, it was necessary to grind down the tiles that fell on the gutter attachment.

Despite these pitfalls, we have moved forward. We will have the start of the installation checked by our carpenter to be sure of the technique, and we look forward to finishing one of the next few days. On the coating side, the second coat is finished: everything is ready for the finishing coat.
