 I put in a very bad night, have been awake since 2:30 am, and did do some dozing, but not a good night. Today was roof work day. Where the sunroom roof meets the house roof a leak has developed. I had checked it out and figured I had a good plan on how to fix it but wanted Larry to come over to check it also to see if he had a better plan. He thought the plan I had was a good one. So with Larry’s help we went to work on correcting it. When we removed the damaged part and found that they hadn’t put in any insulation. The two roofs had been joined together with a piece of rubber roof that didn’t last because there wasn’t anything under it for support. What should have been done was a piece of aluminum used. Larry and I made a trip to Lowe’s to get the additional materials I need to complete the job. Larry’s brother Frank has a metal break that we used to put a 90 degree bend a half inch wide in the aluminum piece we bought for a cap over the roof of the sunroom. Then we slid the aluminum under the house roof shingles. Then we caulk both sides of the aluminum that we installed. I am sure that my description of the project is as clear as mud, I have included a picture of the before on the one side and the after of the other side. My legs and knees where hurting pretty bad when we got one side done and I told Larry the other side will have to wait until tomorrow. Cheri did her laundry and house work. She also went over to see Denise as she was having a problem with the quilt pattern she was using and want to Cheri to check it out.
