Roof and Rain

Well, the roofers have topped the insulation guys on my "not happy with" list. They started on the roof on Monday - put on the bottom layer and were finished with that on Tuesday. They needed an inspection prior to putting on the shingles. Since all weather forecasters said that we would be getting between 4 and 6 inches of rain on Thursday and Friday, they needed to be finished on Wednesday. I discussed this with the head roofing guy and he said, no problem, they would finish on Wednesday - that it would only take them a few hours.

Our superintendent got the inspector out at 9 a.m. Wednesday morning and received sign off right away. No roofers. 10 a.m. - no roofers. 11 a.m. - well, you get the picture. Finally they arrived at 1:30 p.m. Since the head guy said it would only be a few hours, I though we would be fine. What do YOU think???

We had a thing to go to and got back at 6:30 p.m. and they were still working. I sure wouldn't want to be the person on top of the roof when it is getting dark.... Anyway, you can guess the rest. IF they had shown up at 7, 8 or even 9 a.m. today (Thursday), they probably could have finished the job. But they did not show up at all today and only half of the house is finished.

Of all times for the weather forecast to be correct. We had wind, tons of rain and tornado warnings starting around 1 p.m. The Guy kept calling to find out what the deal was, but no one wanted to talk to him, apparently. The insulation guy (you know, the one who really likes me!) informed us that if any of the insulation got wet that it wasn't his problem. I guess I can't really blame him. But, hey, everyone knew it was going to rain. Why was the insulation installation scheduled before the shingles were on???

Tomorrow should be really fun - with the Guy crawling around in in the attic to see what got wet. OH, and it's supposed to be a rain repeat tomorrow. I think I'll hide!

Are we having fun yet?
