So.
Much.
Rain.
Our house now has TWO leaks. Not just the one. This summer we are going to have to pony up for that new roof. Sigh. Gotta happen. And then watch, next winter it won’t rain at all.
It has been unbelievably wet this winter. Don’t get me wrong, besides our leaky fucking roof, I’m super happy for it. We NEED this rain. Badly. We need this rain and this snow, and despite how sick I am of the freaking cold, we need that snow to stick up on those mountains so we can use it to fill up our reservoirs. We get ourselves a new roof, get watertight again, and bring on the same thing next year. Let’s have two or three years of record-breaking wet. Fill up those lakes.
In the meantime…till we get that roof…damn. A lot of our house is “Mickey Mouse” as our contractor would say. Just done poorly and cheaply. This roof is no exception. They didn’t strip the damn thing when they put the most recent roof on, and what they put on top of the old stuff was the cheapest possible option. So cheap, you can’t even legally put it up anymore. California won’t allow it.
Lots to fix. Lots and lots to fix. It all takes money. Working on that part of it, man. Working on it.
Night night.
