My roof hates me.
As you may know, we bought this house last August. We didn't see any evidence of recent water damage when we repainted our ceilings and nothing looked too suspicious, but we knew the roof was fairly old and planned to replace it in a year or two. After all the snow, I noticed a water stain in our living room, but chalked it up to an ice dam because the insulation in this house is non-existent.
Nope. Our roof is actually leaking in several spots in the lower portions. The 2-story roof seems to be holding on for now, so we'll just replace the lower roofs. We still don't have our old house on the market because we need to do some structural work and other repairs. I want to get it in good shape and staged and all that so we can get a good price. DH is taking off from work next week so we can get some of that stuff done. This has been dragging on for way too long, and we still haven't finished everything we need to do here.
We did work on landscaping at our new house today. It was (is?) terrible in every way. Bad grading, overgrown everything, ivy patches full of weeds, and poison ivy in three corners of the backyard. One of the poison ivy vines is over an inch in diameter! Also, a pox on people who use brick chips as a mulch with no landscaping fabric underneath. I'll try to post some before/after pics in case anyone out there is interested.
