MIL vent

Phonecall early this morning "we have water coming in, what do we do now?"

DH "well did you put the tarp back down when you finished doing shingles last night?"

*crickets*

They in fact, had not.  It in fact, rained a crapload.  Reason they didn't put the tarp back down?  "There weren't enough bundles of shingles left to hold it down.  We didn't know what do to so we left it....  "

They are in fact, stupid,

    Oh man. I'm pretty sure *I* could have thought of something to hang the tarp with.

    What do you use to hold it down? How about those rocks on your shoulders that you call heads?

    I already said it, but your DH is a saint.

    Indifferent My parent's neighbor did something similar when they had a new roof put on. The roofers didn't put up tarps on Friday afternoon. Um, hello, read the weather report!!! It rained buckets on the OPEN roof of the two story house. They had to apparently rip out and replace most of the drywall in the house.

    5 years later? STILL haven't painted the facia boards. My parents aren't irrirated at all that they live next to the *one* a-hole in the 50 house HOA that can't get an effing brush and paint exposed wood. 

    Honestly, I'm so.glad I have way more common sense than book smarts.

    Ohmygoodness.  I was just thinking this morning to ask how this was going since I hadn't seen any posts since it got started.  

    he has a family of geniuses, I'm sure of it.

    We had a roofer (is that a word?) put our new roof on a few years ago.  He left part of it untarped, it rained and ended up leaking in the house onto our electrical box.  Which, as you could expect, started on fire.  Thankfully, instead of burning our house down the fire burnt up the electrical box and then went out on its own.  No one knows why, we just call it a blessing! There was also no damage done to our house other then the electrical box, which was fixed at the roof guy's expense.  Lesson learned: ALWAYS TARP THE ROOF!  Even if you have to search for a creative way to hold to hold the tarps down!
