Remember last week when I posted about the giant tarp and a high wind storm coming our way?

.

.

Well, it came.

.

.

And the tarp went.

Sailing off the roof, across the lawn and down into the woods where it rolled into a large ball and sailed right back up to the house.

How well did those grommets hold?

.

.

Not very well as it turns out.

.

.

Sadly along with the wind came rain. And with the tarp protecting nothing but snow covered ground, our ceiling leaked again.

.

.

And the water broke through my previous patch job on the beam.

.

.

So today I’ve been spackling and sanding trying to fill the hole.

.

.

And bleaching the numerous stains on the ceiling…. which is getting quite ridiculous. Every storm brings a new stain in a slightly different spot.

.

.

I’m seriously thinking of painting the damn thing in polka dots until spring.

And if you’re wondering what Lord Mountcatten was doing through all the excitement?

.

.

Trying to ignore it of course.
