Question is, if you nail the Decra steel tiles before it completely dries, will there be bending and twisting later? Anyone who have used blue gum for roofing and is having leaking issues?
@kamachago, let not your heart be troubled. I built my house huku nrbi almost 8 years now using blue gum zenye nilitoa mashinani. No bending, no leakages whatsoever. I gues blue gum bends kama its grown near a watery area e.g next to a river. mine was from a rocky area. If its grown near water it also tends to kupasuka
The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.
