the sound of silence
Last night it rained.
No, last night it POURED. And I sat here through all of the heavy rain (until 2:30, when it went back to sprinkles) and listened.
I listened and listened to the sound of silence.
No drips. I'd been worried that the flashing hadn't been done correctly, but I guess it's good enough. I will put on the counter flashing.
I'd also wondered how noisy the metal roof would e under heavy rain. Answer: about as noisy as the shingles. Seriously, the only noise I heard came in through the windows and doors...and came from rain dripping off the edge where the gutter should go.
Now, it's true that I still need to finish off the last bit near the ridge. Still waiting for Zoodada to finish his project so that I can put in that last sun tunnel. But other than that, I am a very, very happy woman. I don't dread the rain any more. If the roof can make it through a storm like this, it can make it through anything.
