apologies if you get this twice but it seems my isp smtp servers playing up.
Cool, when you have finished do you fancy popping over to switzerland to
help me do my carport roof 5m by 7m with apex roof ;-)

Aha yes it is as you describe and I follow your logic and reasoning, I
am just suspicious now of such people after having a flat roof done on
my garage in the UK and thinking to myself why doesn't he seal up the
sides otherwise its going to leak, but assumed he new what he was doing
- It leaked and I regretted not saying something at the time.
The standards and training are very high in Switzerland however this
makes everything that involves labour very very expensive but I guess it
means I can trust them to get on with the job :-)
