Still Eamonn posting. Hopefully after things get caught up Cacky will keep up with this.
When we bought the house there were leaks in the roof, actauly there was a hole in one place as well. Dan and I had patched the roof (mostly him).
It rained one day while we were at work. When we got home the kitchen table was soaked. I thought, oh crap, I guess I knew this day was coming. I sent an email out to alpha omega roofing and had them come look at the house. They gave me what I thought I be a very reasonable estimate, so I also had them look at the garage. Cacky and I decided to go with architectural shingles over standard ones because they look better, are supposed to last longer and aren't that much more money.

Roof Complete |
I was really excited that the roofers got done before the big storm that was about to come the following monday. I cracked a few jokes about my kitchen table at least being dry before leaving work. When I got home the kitchen table was soaked again.... Oh crap, I went and looked at the roof, it looked perfect. Then I remember that there was a window above where it was leaking, and that I had opened that storm window a few weeks ago. I looked closer at the window and there was no drain holes at all. The water filled up the window sill like a fish tank untill it leaked through the wooden sill onto the table. I cleaned it out and closed the storm window. It hasn't leaked since. I guess I will add that to the list of things that need to be done.
