I am grateful to report that the roofer (thank you Woody's Construction for your skilled work!) came back after disappearing for quite a while to finish our job. It's noon and there is a team working on our roof as we speak. Seeing the copper being cut to create new flashings made my heart soar a little. I have watched leaks in our upstairs ceiling worsen in an alarming fashion for a longer period than is sensible to admit. (we're talking years...) If all goes right, the roof will be fixed for good. We are also replacing one dented, leaky gutter that finally ripped off after the freak Halloween blizzard.
The first thing they completed was putting the slate on the shed. The tarpaper roof look is over and the piles of slate leaning next to the building are now elegantly installed. After seeing the slate waiting to be used for 18 months, the sight of the building with an actual roof brings a welcomed sigh of relief.
Construction update two weeks later: The brick adjacent to the gutter that fell off needed some repair. Luckily, the mason did the work while we were away. Yesterday, Woody's crew came, fabricated and hung the new gutter where it was needed. It was a beautiful sight to see the gutter installed. Removing this off the must-do list is a wonderful gift for this angst ridden soul.
You have a very lovely home. I hope your roof repair project will be completed on schedule. After years of recurring roof leaks, it would be so nice to just enjoy the rainy season without any worries of rain water leaking into your home.

How’s the roof now? Well, if you’re that confidence in their work, I’m definitely in no position to question it – I’m sure they did their work nice and perfect! And it’s good that you also got the gutter fixed. With that in place, water can be kept from dripping along the foundation and into the basement.

Hi there! I agree with Rolly when he said that you have a very lovely home. So, how is it going? Are the leaks totally fixed now? I hope your contractor has done things right for you. Still, I believe you need to check on your roof ‘cause you might not see some little damage there.

Thanks for your kind remarks about our home. As we dig out from the blizzard I am eyeing our roof and gutters and grateful for the snow guards, My husband is never convinced that any contractor does an adequate job- but regarding the roof- so far so good!
DeleteYou have such good taste and sense of style that I know you'll pick the right look! Glad you are feeling better- isn't it shocking how quickly your life can be changed!
