The actual surface area to be covered is <b>unbelievable</b>. The hot weather can't have helped at all, so jolly good on you. I must say Nick looks happy up on his roof terrace though :-) Full of the righteous contentment of a man doing a good job.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.com
