We had a batch of thunder showers come through last night. We got about 2, maybe 3, inches here. Sometime during the evening, K and I ask each other, “what’s that noise?†Turns out we had a leak in the roof that was dripping down (and through) the second story wall, onto one of the logs making up the first story and into the breakfast room. From there it was splashing onto the door to the deck and making the noise we heard.
All of which led me to climb the 45 degree pitch of a wet/slippery roof this morning, right before heading into a meeting at the office, with a tube of roofing caulk, patching up a couple of cracked shingles. We’re getting more rain now – we’ll see how well this holds.
