Well, The Mister messaged the man about the roof…he was awaiting a reply.
We tootled off in the car on our way to the cafe for breakfast ….half way there, The Misters phone rings ….its the roof man ….” I can’t do it til next weekend, but I can come and look now “
‘Right now ? “
“Yes “
We turn the car around and head home.
The Mister gets the ladders, roof man arrives…..
Up and down the ladder a few times ….then in to look at the bedroom ceiling ..up and down the ladder again.
Then , the roof man tells The Mister, it’s easy enough if he wanted to do it himself ….oh how I do wish he hadn’t said that.
The Mister now has another job to do …..
Anyway, we went to the shop and The Mister took photos of the items the roof man said we needed and sent them to him. Just waiting for him to reply and say which to get and if the prices are okay….
Hopefully The Mister can get it done next weekend.
Oh how I hate a leaky roof !
What say you ?

Worse than a leaky roof is repairing a leaky roof.

That roofer sounds like an honest man. I might expect the man to say only he should do it so he could make some money. My dad always finds honest roofers, but my apartment complex is going on its 6th roof in 20 years. If you’re following me you’re probably aware six roofs for 20 years doesn’t sound right. You would be right. They go with the cheapest bid, which means they get the roofers you suddenly can’t get ahold of a month later because they aren’t a legit company and have disbanded.

Not quite sure I have had a leaky rough..where water actually drips on to the floor. One of the bedrooms here though..does have a wet spot on the ceiling..so some kind of leaking must be going on, it just doesn't drip..at least yet. I hope It never does.

@traceyjayne I say if you have a leaky toilet get a plumber, if you have a car malfunction get a mechanic and if you have a dodgy roof get a roof man in. I am not skilled in these areas but I could recite you French 19th century poetry while you wait for the person with the requisite skills to solve your issues. Would that do?
