When it rains, it pours. And we’re dry!

A couple of weeks ago, we painted our bedroom top to bottom. We thought it was a good idea to spend the night sleeping in our guest room so that our room would have time to dry out. It had been raining that day and continued to rain during the night. We heard drips as we tried to sleep, but chalked it up to the gutter which was just outside of the window. The next morning, the ceiling in the guest room was discolored from a water leak!! We started calling roofers out for advice and quotes. In the meantime, we had a few more rainy days and worried all through the sounds of rain. We were able to choose a roofer who was ready (and happy!) to get to work on the first dry day. They came early in the morning and worked straight through until around 4:30 that afternoon, not even leaving for lunch, so that it could be done before the rain started back the next morning.

While the roofers were working, they found they had to replace wood on three different areas, one being by far the worst and the source of the leak. He said that he wasn’t sure at all how the tiles were even still being held on, the wood was so bad! I might have chalked this up to a bit of roofer’s drama had it not been for the picture:

I am so sorry. I know a new roof wasn’t on the list you sent to Santa. (He must have had a surplus of roofs though, cause that is what he got us, too). Ouch!
