Cautiously Optimistic

The wind tunnel left yesterday after moisture levels fell to baseline "dry." What a freakin' load off not having that roar in the background, not to mention no longer needing to tiptoe my way cautiously around the house, avoiding snaked extension cords for the various water remediation devices (fans, dehumidifier, heater, &c.)

More importantly, despite yesterday's (and today's) driving rain, the emergency roof repair seems to be holding. At least there's nothing I can see leaking, and the wall's still open so it'd likely be more obvious than before.

Still need roofing estimates, and hopefully soon, roof repair (non-emergency). Then I'll schedule the rebuild to put back the wood & plaster &c. that got torn and ripped off to allow access to dampness in order to dry it all. One roofing guy should be here this afternoon, and another on Friday. May try to line up another company as well, just in case. For now though, the stress level has fallen a bit, which I appreciate.

So, if I call and tell you that I have a specific problem that needs addressing, please listen to me. Don't show up after I've said I need a roof repaired because of a leak expecting to sell me on having my roof completely redone. It's a waste of your time/energy and mine to have you come out if you're too busy to do anything other than full re-roofs these days. Just tell me and I'll move onto the next roofing company on the list, rather than figuring I'm all set since I've got a few estimates lined up, only to discover I've got NONE lined up as folks're too busy to do repair work and'd rather do full re-roofs only. Guess I'm living and learning.
