I don't think I want to go up on the roof of a 6 storey 1960s pile of tulipe building, thanks.

Thankfully the driller seems to have buggered off now.

Hammer man has arrived to replace him.

They told him to stop, cos it was Hammer Time.

Edit : Damn, too slow :

If they have reversed the gravitational field, they may simply be draining the water ingress.

Oooo, sounds like they're moving furniture up there now.

On the roof? That'll be to cover up the holes

Smart thinking

Seriously worst case it's not that hard to put on a new roof, I've helped a mate do it and the only real issue was making sure people were safe up there

Her ex left and a matter months later she real problems with a leaking roof

And that was because her ex had 'fixed' the roof years ago by putting big metal buckets in the loft under the leak and one night she was eating dinner with her kids and part of the roof caved in

That was when she found out she had no house insurance, hence why we all chipped in and helped built a new roof on

If we can do it I'm sure you can

The best way to stop that is to remove the roof altogether and dig a drainage channel in the floor.

Coz that's what appears to be happening overhead at the moment.

Ah, Ted, that's so that the water can bounce back out again and reduce the splashes on the floor.
