However, if you look at where the panel abuts against the wall of the house, you can see the typical wavy profile of corrugated iron - at least that's what I've convinced myself.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-10877797260072038772014-03-13T07:12:04.147+10:002014-03-13T07:12:04.147+10:00Well when you look at Photo 1 it does look a bit l...Well when you look at Photo 1 it does look a bit like the side view of a water tank but in photo 2 it looks like an add-on extension to the house doesn't it and whilst it might be corrugated iron I'm yet to be convinced.
