When we arrived home today amidst a mini "Nor' Easter", there was rock music coming from the roof and the house was covered with a big blue tarp. At first I wondered if we were getting a roof or getting fumigated!
I often refer to Tom as a Teddy Bear and my first thought as I watched him try to get under the tarp to the front door is the title of today's segment. I wish I had pictures of that moment but the camera was inside the house. What I do have is a shot of roofer, Vladimir, fighting the tarp in the wind.
What a disaster the yard is! Pieces of tar wrap and old shingles all over. The fellas, Rob and Vlad are really great guys. Not only did they work under conditions that sucked, they spent the last part of the day picking up trash from the neighbor's yard!
Then we have to mention the frustrated supervisors, Kayto & Yaar. They managed to endure the banging on the roof for most of the day. But the minute we got home, they had to check out Rob, Vlad and all the tools and materials. Yaar managed to find a piece of tar paper to drag around but we got that away from her quickly. I am worried about the nails that will inevitably fall to the ground during this construction. If anyone has a good suggestion as to how to remove these easily, I would appreciate any and all suggestions.
Oh. I almost forgot! Rob came up to me last night with a handful of FUR! Turns out it is the horsehair used to insulate the roof! Can you believe that. I knew they used horsehair in the plaster walls, but never knew it was used under the roof! The things you learn!!!
