Leaky Roof Update

Fortunately for us, the leaky roof only lasted about 20 minutes last Friday. It was a slow, steady drip for that time, but at least it was just one drip, not a gush of water. Phew! We got a recommendation for a roofer and had an appt set for him to come check things out on Saturday afternoon. Well, Saturday came and went with no roofer showing up. Are all fix-it guys the same? (Flaky when it comes to keeping appointments, work at their own schedule, don't bother to call when they can't come, etc). We got a little rain Sat night and even more Sun night, but there was no additional leaking in the kitchen ceiling. Garrick managed to get ahold of the roof guy again today (Mon). I haven't heard why he didn't show on Saturday, but nevertheless, he showed up this afternoon. He checked out the roof and said that the swamp cooler area was a "Mess." We don't use the swamp cooler - in fact, we've already blocked a couple of the swamp cooler air ducts (or whatever they're called) inside the house. So, the solution? Get rid of it! The swamp cooler is being removed and the roof is being repaired as we speak. I'm grateful to have it fixed so quickly.
