rain, i see you smirkin’ at me
“Ben, why is the floor wet?” Becky is initiating questioning with the member of the family potty training currently. Immediately recognizing the response to that question would be good, I headed up the stairs to investigate. Thankfully for the young suspect, it turned out to be another source.
We’ve had almost non-stop rain for the last four days. As a result, I was made aware our new roof is solid and the seal around the heater vent had broken loose during the installation of said roof. The sometimes violent rain was dripping down the exhaust pipe into the attic. Ben was acquitted of all charges regarding puddle creation.
I stayed home today to remedy the situation. I took advantage of the time off to work on a few other things around there that never seem to get done with the kids around. Something about paint cans and toddlers that makes me nervous.
Learned something else important today as well. Don’t like the steep pitch on my roof. I REALLY don’t like it when the roof is wet. I was really pretty lucky, though. It was only sprinkling while I was on the roof today, and the ceiling is drying well and probably won’t require much work to fix the damage. (A project for later…)
I also used the time to get the weather station back up and running as it should. Things seem to be functioning normally again. Sorry about the downtime. This machine is now set to backup more frequently. I’m also looking for a inexpensive alternative/backup for this one. I would rather not have to go through that hassle again.
I promise to post something your are interested in (read: pictures of the kids) soon.
