Well the tiles arrived ‘safely’ – they were a day late
and the truck was not carrying the fork-lift that Simon had booked and paid
for! Anyway, the pallets were duly dumped on the water’s edge, all 2 ½ tons of
them (Photo 831) and the truck driver
went away cursing and blinding.
Simon
loaded up his trolley for the first of many trips and soon found that the tiles
were too wide for the walk-way (Photo 832).
So it became the first of many, many trips!
Of course he could not resist breaking off in the midst
of all this toil in order to try a few out on the deck. Now back in December,
when the roofing felt had just been applied, the deck looked very smart, (Photo
833) but was of course a bit vulnerable to accidental damage.
These tile proved
to be exactly the right size, without trimming, to lie along the side decks and
with a power wash will look really good (Photo 834).
And Simon has
started on the bow area (the easy bits) and that looks pretty good too (Photo
835). Wait till he gets to fitting the mats around the hawspipes and the like!
