When your roof is leaking in the middle of a Maine winter and you have no idea why…. there’s really only one solution.

.

.

You chip the ice and snow from around the door, set up a ladder….

.

.

Climb up on the roof where you have to chip away more snow and ice…

.

.

And lay a giant ass tarp. ( We’ll be the envy of all our neighbors now, so stylish! ) Then if you’re my husband, you leave a large part of it flapping in the corner.

.

.

What?

.

.

With a storm moving in, I had to fight him to secure the damn thing before it blew halfway to the next county.

.

.

One little string, through one little grommet was all he would do.

.

.

The snow came, turned to rain and miraculously the roof didn’t leak. But we’re due for strong winds in a few days so things are apt get interesting.
