Day two of roof repair was not without its pitfalls.

And Lord Dudley Mountcatten kept a close eye on the progress.

Yes that’s a giant copper and silver cicada on my coffee table. You mean you don’t have one…? How strange.

The weather that morning was awful.

Rain, wind and colder than average temps. Work didn’t even start until 10:00am.

At times it seemed like the black clouds were aiming right for them.

But progress was made in between the showers and I was glad to see the gap in the problem corner was tightly covered with ice and water shield. A gerry rigged solution to be sure, but an improvement none the less. Had this been done the day before (as I requested, repeatedly) our ceiling wouldn’t look like this:

We had professionals in several times to “fix” a problem where roof valleys met over 17 years, and for all I know, the current owners still have a problem that requires regular attention.

It’s been so annoying because the leak wasn’t constant. Sometimes it would drip, other times not.

Sorry about the weekend’s toll on your ceiling. We had roof problems a couple of houses back. We held our breath with each rain (and snow thaw).
Here’s hoping that this fix is the solution!

It would have been nice if the hubs replaced that water damaged trim before hand. But what do I know? I’m in the same club as you River.

Hopefully day two was more “pit” than “falls.” The last thing you need is to rush hubby to the ER!

If the roof still leaks after he’s done? I might just send him there myself.

This sounds like the makings of a future “Dateline” episode. I just hope Keith Morrison narrates.

Oh goodness. Home improvement projects NEVER stop and they hardly ever go smoothly. Your poor ceiling.
Does your giant cicada go back into a closet for 17 years after this post?

He does not. He cost a fortune and will therefor proudly guard the table for years to come.
