the sky is falling the sky is falling
Um no it's just dad. Well here's what's happening around here these days. The roof appears to be in need of some attention. So for the last several years the roofers came out to patch it up here and there, in an attempt to get a few more years of like out of it.
There should have been a good 12 years of life on the shingles --- but --- several years agoe we had ridiculously huuuugggge hail and it did a number on the shingles…..so ….. whatever and our insurance adjuster came out and said ….. yadda yadda. So I got rid of that insurance company and got a new one ……and on and on the story goes. Now then up to date….yes we’ve been having this thing patched for the last 4 years. And this is the year that we get a new roof. So why now.. This I will explain. Well it rained …a lot on my kitchen table, beside my kitchen table, in the middle of the kitchen, at the end of the peninsula. Yeppers !!! So then here we are off and a runnin to get ourselves a new roof. So the roofers come out and hop up on the roof with dad. Sounds reasonable …. So far so good. Then before long the roofers and dad are in what we call the false ceiling. Yep we got two ceilings one was the original and the other was put up later just to bring the ceiling down to the 8 ft. mark. So anyway in order for it to rain in my kitchen the rain needed to get past the shingles and the boards and through the insulation through the plastic and through the original wooden ceiling through some more plastic and through the drywall on the ceiling. So I said all that just to say that the ceiling had become very soggy. Oh yes where was I ? Oh yeah so dad and roofers were in between the two ceilings and dad stepped clear through the soggy ceiling and we now have a gaping hole overhead. Due to a migrane I was hiding out in the bedroom curtains shut ……when you have a migraine the last thing you want is to be in a room with light……believe me there is nothing quite like it. So roofers away for the day and I find myself on my way (wearing sunglasses) on my way as best I could to the kitchen to get a glass of water. And there in the hallway I get stopped by dad with shovel in hand and he says to me .. oh um I wanted to get some cleaning done before you came out. Hmmmm saw the shovel and thought well that’s a bit different???? Looked up at the where the ceiling should be and oh my Gosh…..that is where there should be ceiling and now its gaping and drooping and hanging and all those other ing words. Any way I wish I could have seen it happen cause I would have laughed myself into a tizzy even with my migrane. Part 2 will be coming shortly.
