South Gippy got its fair share of Wet, alot of stuff blown around, branches down all over, but not as bad as Cumberland River and places along the Great Ocean Road.

We do really need the rain, but not the devestation that can come from flash floods.

Hope everyone is safe and did not loose anything. Not flooded in the suburbs, thankgod! But.. our roof is looking quite dangerous at the moment! Its sinking and bubbled up, could cave in any minute. I got onto the real estate weeks ago about leaks, no luck with them! The last roof guy didn't finish the job! Last weeks soaking really has made it an urgent matter of safety! Why in the world do people build with flat tin roofs? :? (Atleast now, that the ceiling is completely falling apart, they can't tell where the birds have chewed around the ceiling :twisted: hehe)

:shock: Originally, flat roofs were supposed to have water on top to help cool the home. But most aren't built properly these days; or maintenance is lacking. But mostly they aren't done right. I surly hope it doesn't cave in! (does insurance cover that...? lol)

We live on the top floor of a block of units built in the 70s. Soo old I think they should rebuild the whole block instead of renovating bits and pieces. Last roof guy only patched up next doors roof (after falling through into next doors unit) when he was supposed to do the whole block! Aparently the landlord was really angry, was planning on redoing the staircase but is spending the money on the roof again. Cannot wait till March 08, lease is up! Woohoo! Don't care where, just was a house with a slanted roof and enough room to put the fids.. that all! hehe

We don't have insurance.. probably should take some out huh! Not much here to insure though, birds and their cages? :? Birds are in a 'safe' area, the roof above them looks okay. :wink:

You would have plenty to insure Lauren, when you look at all your belonings and think about how much it would cost to buy new stuff all in one go. It really adds up. We have house and contents insurance and all up it cost $54 per month (thats with the house insured aswell).
