Well, the roof has been done for over a week and the weather has not been cooperating. We have had glorious days with temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s. The sky has been blue with little puffy clouds forming mystical creatures to float above my house. This really is not what I wanted!
Finally yesterday brought just what I had been waiting for: WIND & RAIN!!!!! It poured all day, it was glorious. However by the time Tom and I got home, the downpour was more of a spit. I made a mad dash for Tom's den to empty the buckets and they were empty! Not a drop of water had slithered in under the roof. I think we got it!
I had worried that there could be some water getting in as part of the siding had been removed to replace some bad wood. The crew had sealed the places with some sort of membrane, but I was still worried. As it is still raining, I will check again when we get home.
Noise, that blasted noise: ping - ping - ping! NOT! When I got up this morning Tom asked if I had slept good as he had had a good night's sleep also. Then he said it had rained hard all night. We didn't hear a thing. So that should put to rest all those naysayers who thought I was going to be sorry about the metal roof!
Next month we go before the Conservation Committee about the siding and the work should be done the first part of June. The doors could be in before that, I just do not know the timing, as our contractor is going to Europe. He must be a very good contractor!!!
Keep popping back. I'll add more in a few days.
Happy Spring
