Going to see if we have any bits left over from when the shower was fitted, or see if B&Q have a tiny bit I can try. I THINK it might work and if it does, it's going to be lots cheaper. Having said that, it'll all be one strip rather than tiles - or I suppose I can cut them into small tiles. Hmmm. This has potential!Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984842409838989905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053483660124811564.post-3659076653733373462013-07-27T10:23:43.715+01:002013-07-27T10:23:43.715+01:00Mine are the Minaco ones and I too need the ridge ...Mine are the Minaco ones and I too need the ridge tiles, I never thought to order them at the time! I had a hard enough time trying to get the postage down on just the roof tiles. I ordered two bags worth and rather than combine postage they simply doubled the price of one bags p&p on ebay when their website p&p totted up postage depending on how much you spent. I was rather miffed and managed to haggle them down.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238571735302117986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053483660124811564.post-90286641106267654972013-07-26T19:39:05.171+01:002013-07-26T19:39:05.171+01:00They've arrived already!

The big problem is because it's properly bricked, it's getting something that looks equally as real for the tiles. I'm eyeing up plaster ones for £5.95 - not too bad for 500 slates and it'll get the outsides pretty much finished.Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984842409838989905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053483660124811564.post-37008306848381296432013-07-24T00:06:01.874+01:002013-07-24T00:06:01.874+01:00I am enjoying your new project.

As for the roof, I like to use sandpaper, at least that's what we call it in the US. Maybe you call it glass paper?
