stubbed toes and mud pies

yesterday i was standing a little close to Mom and talking and she reached out and started to poke me repeatedly in the stomach so my voice was changing up and down and it got us both to laugh so hard and i gave her a big hug and told her how much i loved her.

if you search for the words "leak" and "roof" and in things i have written you will find some of the history.

here is some more info:

What a gorgeous fireplace. I love it.

Is this roof fixed now?

not until the weather gets warm enough that it can be repaired. too cold and caulk/sealer won't work and also if there is snow on the roof i don't want anyone up there. at most what will happen this winter is getting it tarped better so we don't have any more leaks until it gets repaired.

well, surprised this morning, the roofing people called and said they would come out and take a look and they did.

it's 22F and windy out but they went up there and took off the covers i had put down and then they looked around and then recaulked the flashing they had installed some years ago. he said the caulk they used is fine to apply down to 0F. they had to warm up a few times and warm up the caulk but they got it done.

so the bricks and pavers i put up there are now stacked up on top and they can stay there until next spring. hopefully this will be the last of the leaks. they left a pretty big new tarp with me to put down if it does leak and the bricks are already up there so we'll see how it goes.
