What the—!

Imagine my surprise this morning to see part of our roof in a tree! Last night was dark and stormy. At about 4 in the morning a very loud clap of thunder got my attention. There had been plenty of lightning, but this particular thunderclap had a very long duration. Karla said it sounded like sheet metal. It was.

So today was wasted in putting the roof back on. Fortunately we had a leftover piece of metal to use for repair where one of the pieces of the roof was very badly bent.

Also fortunately there was a real shingle roof under the metal. I had added the metal a few years ago to facilitate quick drainage of rain because the roof on that part of the house was nearly level and rain tended to pile up and blow against one of the house walls and leak into one of the rooms.

We used lots more roofing screws this time!
