A lot like Australia Day thoughts, really.

You can love your country and still not like it.

Property inspector came over, he let me shadow him, explained things along the way when I asked questions. Maybe in his 50s, the kind who appreciates someone who asks questions, and respects someone who wants to know more.

The young tradies these days tend to put on a more superior attitude; dismissive. You ask questions and they give one-word answers. I suspect a lot of time they can't answer the questions because they don't know the answers, so they don't like the questions in the first place.

Anyway, it looks like it's more along the lines of rain damage from roof leakage around the edges of various tiles. Some of the tiles have cracked and splintered, and the roof generally will need repairs - luckily, we're going into a dry spell, so it shouldn't be too bad. But we will need to hire someone to look over the roof and fill in the gaps they can.

Also will need to pay someone to trim the jacaranda down (again - didn't do it enough before), or find someone who wants to do tree pruning/trimming.

At least it's not structural, even if roof repairs will set us back a chunk. Also, we're probably going to have to regularly trim back the jacaranda and regularly clean out the gutters.

Ooh, there's a nice 'clouds-on-fire' sunset taking place outside. Lovely.

Wait, now it's gone.
