Morning everyone... another bad thunderstorm last night with power off for a couple of hours...again! My roof leaked again, same spot(after they replaced a lot of shingles.. I keep telling them it is running under the shingles but they think I don't know what I'm talking about...my dad was a roofer and I was on the roof at age 13 helping him, he taught me alot..

My county + 2 others are under a flood watch, river is high..some roads are flooded..

Betty..glad you are safe ....Viv, glad your power is back on...
Hope everyone has a great day!


flowerforyou Hope they listen to you and fix your roof. You can even think to yourself: I told you so bigsmile (But not out loud, they hate it when you're right) Men just seem to under estimate What a woman can soak up and remember sometimes slaphead Especially when we have a curious streak laugh

Glad you got your air conditioning back on Viv. If I had to paint in that heat I think I'd wear shorts and a bathing suit inside out (to protect them from paint) and jump in the shower every now and then just to keep cool bigsmile A few little water drips here and there on the floor would dry pretty quickly in that kind of heat. I'm pleased that it was a little cloudy and cooled a little bit herebigsmile bigsmile Oh and thanks guys.... all that "Happy" spread here has the "Happy,Happy..Joy,Joy" song in my head nowgrumble bigsmile

THEN why are yougrumble
Its happy hour lol

No lol. This was an emergency , my tap broke right in my hand and I have been without water in my kitchen for three weeks. The wood was rotted and I have to replace the countertops.
Expensive...but needed.

Oh yeah its an old house. I have lived here 30 years. Always seems something is needed.
I haven't been eating out, getting pots of water from the bathroom. Its been awful. Actually its been longer than three weeks I think.
But tomorrow it will be all done...I hope.

Morning everyone...

Another huge storm last night, power off all night, big trees down, cornfields flattened, one fire dept lost their building and trucks, roofed collapsed, a few men hurt..winds over 80 mph.. Yes, my roof was fixed yesterday, now so many shingles gone they may just replace whole roof.. Not supposed to rain anymore for 5 days...Some places may not have power for up to a week...

Money for one thing. THen I had to get out a contactor for measurements., then I had to pick out the countertop. sink and tap.
Then it had to be ordered and fit me into their schedule. Lots of rig a more roll.

I long for the days when things seemed to go 'right' for long periods. These days it seems like it is the opposite. I need to start a run of positive things. I can deal with setbacks, but I would like to see a few "set-forwards" occasionally.

They do all happen in quick succession. All I can hope for is a little rest. I can not email you. I am not sure if you can email me and then it will let me return ...

yep, y'all do things different up there..we'd have turned off the water, went to Lowe's or home depot and got the stuff to do it that evening....no contractor or whoever..a couple of tools and it'd been done.

I tried but your settings won't let me either. Yours says you are only accepting emails from Ladies in a 50 mile radius.
