Hi ALL.
Last night after 7 days of dealing with the respatory flu from hell,not well yet mind you,my darling Inga had it for 12 days, But befor I start to ramble on , at 9 PM. my roofer shows up a knockin Knock,Knock Knockin, Knockin on my front door. We will be there at 6:30 am to start your roof tear off. What am I gonna say but ya sure Ill be up and ready. I am looking at 30 SQ. Hip with 4 Hip dormers and the frosting is 4 layers. Been putting this off for a long time but it needs to be done this year. After 1/4 is about off what is hanging on the horizon you guessed it Severe thunder stormes,no rain in the last 10 days but today 1″ in about 1/2 hour. So what is it ,wash your new Vette or Harley it rains Tear off your roof……………Bingo….So here I sit at 10:21 pm listening to thunder and rain and wondering about all that will need to be fixed if those tarps leak or blow off. I am still hacking up stuff I think I inhaled back in the 70’s and it is HOT , so please tell me that there is some one else out there reading this who has been there and done that. Maybe I get one lone person and maybe I beat out the “what tool did you but today” thread . All I can hope for is that my 1917 1800sq.ft. Praierie school is not going to turn into a giant stinky kitchen sponge. Like the one that sat under your favorite pan all weekend while you were away.A humorus verbal break is what I need at this time and you crazy cat’s are just what the Doc. ordered.So let’s hear it, gimme 3000 reasons why I should not throw in the towel or Piss and moan, What do ya think. Rick

1.) Lay on couch.
2.) Continue to lay on couch.
3.) Do not pass go except for RR and to get OJ from fridge.
4.) Remain quiet and don't push it too quick or you'll be back on couch all over again.
5.) Rejoice in the fact that you don't own a ford truck.
be in peace
A person with no sense of humor about themselves is fullashid
DR. Razz,
1. I like this couch thing.
2. I like this couch thing alot!.
3. Went to my favorite adult beverage store today,can this be concidered RR and can I throw a little Ta-Kill-Ya in my OJ,Vitaman T you know.
4. Ive got a @#$% load of Yaya's. Whats gonna happen to them,they gotta go someware. I could SNAP, it could be all over. They would find me on the couch covered in Ta-Kill-Ya and OJ reading a 05 Ford booklet.
5. I am the Proud owner of a 03 Dodge Ram1500 HEMI . Got Her Tweaked to 450HP. And her name is Annabell. I drove Her today for the first time this week and excessive Horse power has healing powers. Also makes Inga squeal like a school girl. Thanx RAZZ. Rick.
Breaker Breaker uncommontree...you got yer ears on out there somewhere?....squawk....
Came across this old thread when searching for something and thought to see if yer notification thing is still on and hear what the final was on that roofing job from hell.
be uncommon
94969.19 In the beginning there was Breaktime...
...although I'm guessing he hacks less when he is vertical rather than horizontal. At least my DW does. Maybe there is an old mummy's tomb somewhere to sleep standing up?
Heck, I ought to sell myself as a rainmaker. No rain in the forecast? Let my crew tear off a hard to dry-in section of roof and the sky suddenly turns black.
Hope you made it thru the night ok. Hang in there and hack up some good ones.
REMEMBER THE BOSTON BATWANGER.
Thanks Greencu,
Same here all day it was HOT and sunny . I was doing a door closer install in town and I looked up and saw a little gray way off in the southwest and 1 hour later it was right on top of us harshing my new roof experiance. Hence the real need to piss and moan.It rained all night and it is now 12:09PM and it is now showing signs of stoping. What a friggen mess. This will for sure make me more sympathetic towards my customers when they to must go through this. On a lighter note ,the "spor" that has invaded my body is moving out. With all this going on last night was the first night I slept through in over a week. Thanks. Rick
one of my vivid memories as a child was the time the roof was off part of the house as dad added 'up' - probably about 1960 - big rain/storm - visqueen flapping, leaks and pans and buckets in the kitchen and living room - an exciting night -
the living room furred and a new drywall ceiling -
hang in there - it'll be alright -
Thank's David,
Trying not to think about it to much. Your post did get me to thinking about one thing,I can not remember any time in my life ever living in a home that was done. This includes now. Most of the time I have control over any in home project, that is after Inga tells me it's ok for me to have control over any in home project. But this roof thing,Roofers,weather, busted up shingles in Inga's flower garden, AAARRRRRGG. Gonna be a long week and it will be nice to see a new roof and a close to this chapter of being a home owner. Till than I will remain sane. Rick.
