After the rain the roof is looking good!

Roof and Rain!

The south facing roof was completed yesterday and although the rain was not wanted, we hoped to test the roof for leaks. The thunder came at 0245 and was followed by a heavy shower then drizzle until 0330, with flashes of lightening and more thunder inbetween. 

AND NO LEAKS
