Blue Roof Heaven

We dodged a major bullet with Hurricane Dennis, but the storm still caused me some headaches. My aging roof finally decided to do it's best impression of a seive over my living room. I'm not sure if it was the wind, or just the soaking rain, but I started to get a water spot in the ceiling last night. I grabbed two tarps and two backpacks full of bricks and headed up to the roof. That was fun, let me tell you. It's raining, windy and dark, and I'm trying to stretch out two tarps and anchor them with the bricks without killing myself. Yee haw.

It worked, even with 45mph winds, the tarps stayed put. I went back up today just to check, and they were doing the job. We had no more leaks.

Next task - hire a roofer!
