We Need a New Roof

It’s like finding out your new used car needs its transmission replaced. C’est la vie.
Then it rained last night on our partially done new roof. Woke up at 4 am to a drip dripping near my nightstand. You betcha, we sprung a leak in our bedroom. Since we may not be fully shingled for a few days, and, of course, there’s rain in the forecast, I’ll be performing some “redneck” roof repairs on my own. More to follow.
