Out west this is about as wet as it ever gets! And we have the roof torn off. Gotta love and hate those blue tarps.
Anyone else dancing the green cap/blue tarp/shop vac/everything’s wet dance?

Listeners write in about haunted pipes and building-science tomes, and they ask questions about roof venting and roof leaks.

Hey, looks like a little break now at least. You know its getting bad when houses start moving, total saturation. I heard that both highways 17 and 152 were blocked by mudslides in both directions yesterday, isolating the coast.
With the nickname of trout, you must be adapting though!

As we speak a new flyrod is being built on the kitchen table. :-)
On the site, we've finished half our second floor framing so we're really sweating the water until the roof in on. We sealed the decking joints with PL construction adhesive and it holds out water quite well.
Do you ever drill holes in the deck to drain water, just curious?

I just finished re-roofing my house--me doing grunt work, a roofer doing the skilled work. We stripped, sheeted, and felted one quarter at a time, watching the horizon all the while. Each quarter took about 6 hours to get felted in, with 4 of us. It rained in the evening after 3 of the 4 quarters. My roofer seems particularly good at knowing when it's going to rain, and when to start something. It's just about done now, and no water problems.
Southern Colorado and no rain here, wish we had such worries.

It's been rolling through to the north of us all winter. Seems like Pike's is at about the southern end of the storms that have buried the central mountains.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
