When It Rains, It Pours
The first casualty of every battle is?
Yes? You over there, frantically waving your hand?
Correct. The battleplan.
Michael has started the next stage of replacing our roof, kicking off the actual work with the help of his folks (who came out here and stayed for the last two weeks – thanks Mom and Dad!).
So far, we’ve had: the decking we ordered delayed by almost two weeks, the shingles we ordered discontinued and all new stock frozen by the manufacturer for ‘reformulation,’ the special underlayment and ice guard discontinued, the premium low VOC paint we chose for the trim ingredients altered somehow by the manufacturer’s suppliers so it has become unacceptable for our use, the wrong reflective insulation shipped to us, and…
It’s rained. Frequently. Sudden downbursts with unheard of rainfall rates of four to five inches an hour.
Stay tuned.

Guess I won’t complain about the inch or so we got last night, but we do have to shovel the driveway back up on to the drive as it washed half the gravel into the road again. Sigh.

What a project to be undertaking. Looking forward to hearing how it progresses. Good to see you on-line again.
