It rained heavily the other night, which means I woke up to this.
Again.
.
.
My husband puts a paper towel in the bowl because he can’t stand to hear the dripping. This from the man who has the audio level of the television at 31.
.
.
No matter how many times he fixes, replaces sections of, tars or flashes the roof?
This.
.
.
It’s enough to make me scream because it doesn’t happen every time. We can have a rip roarer of a downpour and it will be fine. Then a normal shower will cause a breakthrough.
.
.
So I bleached and patched the ceiling, again. Cursing under my breath the entire time.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten?

Didn’t seem overly concerned.

River's world..... 
But…can we just say how awesome the painting on the wall is? I wish it were on Facebook Market. I would buy that in an instant.

Thank you. My late father painted it and I’m rather partial to it myself.

It’s funny, he was at heart a watercolorist and didn’t often work in oils. Our house is full of his work and my husband likes all of them. Except this one… because it’s too impressionistic. So naturally I hung behind the television he’s always watching.

Lord Mountcatten said he’s had enough and thinks his human should have the entire roof replaced so this doesn’t keep happening. He also said you should just do it without really consulting the hubs…lol.

The husband used to do roofing for a living and won’t let anyone else work on it. He actually replaced the entire roof less than 15 years ago because…. Are you ready? There was a leak.

Over and over again. In different spots, at different times. The only possible explanation is a red squirrel in the attic…

I haven’t seen her gut a while, but if she’s chewing her way out of the attic I wouldn’t.

It’s crazy. We have no idea where it’s coming in as none of the wood on the roof is wet or damaged. We had the chimney too replaced a few years ago and just replaced the gutters. It’s maddening… doubly so because I want to replace the flooring but not until we solve the leak.

You might want to give this clip to hubby for his birthday (or, if it’s not soon, his un-birthday). Just don’t tell him where you got it, because he’s an ex-marine and I’m old and decrepit.

The clip is called “Roofing for Dummies” (I assumed hubby has a sense of humor).

He does. But I’m afraid it’s wearing thin with this issue.

That leak could be coming from anywhere on the roof, it just uses that place as it’s exit point.

He’s stripped it right from the top and nothing seems wrong. It’s crazy.

Time for a complete new roof, maybe?

Could be. But that would have to wait until spring. Shingles of our color are special order and take 6-8 weeks to come in. It would be too cold by then.
