They came yesterday and brought all the supplies with their big trucks and replaced the back half of our roof. The half that isn't leaking. Apparently the back half of houses are usually the worst but not in our case.
We are in for a weekend of rain so they patched what they could and will be back on Monday.
I knew the noise was going to be bad but the migraine I got yesterday was brutal! I hid in the basement and read Portia de Rossi's Unbearable Lightness
which is an astounding book. Exhausted with no food in the house, we went out to Subway for dinner.I can't wait for this to be over and start digging us out of debt to pay for the new roof. It is a good investment and if our lives ever change, it will help us sell the house.
How weird it was to look through this window and up and see a guy suspended in the air smiling at me. My life is pretty boring here but there are moments of surrealism.

Enjoy the peace and quiet of your weekend!
I haven't read that book, although I have picked it up a couple of times.
Glad for the peace and quiet!
And I have more than once taken refuge in Subway. (Ah-vo-kah-do)
I live in apartment on the 24th floor. The roof is right above me. Granted I don't have to pay to fix the roof. I had leaks, they had to tear down the cabinets in my kitchen at one time. I have inspectors coming tomorrow. I have no idea what they will say. So leaky sucky roofs get us all: house or apartment dwellers.
Just wanted you to know you are not alone with this.
