Arrrgghh! Not again! House
Problems!!! The Red Neck Repair
So guess
where I am going first thing this AM?
Yep! Home
Depot – my favorite place on earth. Their Moto is “You can do it – we can help!”
And today I have to do it – again.
We have
booked a Roof Repair that is coming shortly – in a week or so or maybe a little
more. I am really in no hurry but it has to be done and Christmas is only five
months away.
Why is
this happening?
Well a
month or so ago our dining room table had some things laying on it that were a ‘next
project’ for me. These things were plain wood bird houses that are going to be decorated
for our back yard. I picked up the bird
houses and they were wet!
The table
is directly below the chandelier that lights the room up… and sure enough there
was water coming down from the chandelier… slowly and making fairly big drips
on the table below.
That week
we had that huge rain storm with high winds.
The guys at Home Depot told me that their shelves were emptied of the roof
patching material as everyone had a problem or two with their roofing.
When he
said that I felt a little better.
I did a
reasonable job of patching and then arranged for help to get the roof repaired.
However… with the very hot weather, and then more rain over the past few days…
my patches have let go. More dripping on the table as of last night and again
this morning… Arrrgghh! Not again! House Problems!!!
Well
what should I do? More roof patching will be done today – outside. But in a flash I had the answer for inside.
My dining room table will never be wet again. I have that solved and should be
able to make it to Christmas or even longer.
My
wife isn’t out of bed yet to see the way that I was able to brilliantly solve
our problem. I am bursting at the seams to tell her how smart I am. I know she will just love it… kind of… I
think… maybe…
Maybe
I will just let her sleep and then see if she can spot the repair later today. Hmmm?
Now
if every man thought the way that I did a lot more could be done to keep stuff
out of our landfill sites, You can incorporate it into the décor.
What
am I getting at…? Well that was my build up to letting you actually see the
repair job guys.
The
only thing you need to repair this leaking ceiling is a chair and the ability
to stand on the table top. And Bingo it
is all done.
What
do you think? Will she love it or
not? I think she will be so impressed
that on the next Father’s Day I will get another card that refers to my insane
ability to repair things!

My web site > roof repair estimates
It’s okay to do minor roof repairs by yourself. Yes, it will save you a lot from having to pay service fees, but if you can’t do the repairs anymore, don’t push yourself. It’s either you’ll end up getting hurt or the repair will only cause another problem. You can also consider asking help from others, like your relatives, friends, or some friendly neighbors.
