Stormy weather
Today turned out to be a race
to see how much we could get done before an advancing storm reached us.
The rain started just as we
finished hauling in the new deck lumber.
It was a good test for the new
roof that seemed to pass
with flying colors while allowing us to work under its dry protection.

How does it sound when it rains on the roof you insulated? Is it still noisy enough?

Mona --- Storms can be so restful, can't they? Just what I needed --- to sit around and listen to the rain on a tin roof.
Marco --- Sounds like it's a more serious storm than I thought! We've had four inches now and it's still raining. Let the flooding begin!
Emily --- The trailer roof (minimal insulation in the original roof, then R30, then the new tin) is pretty much silent from inside. (Or at least I think it is --- it's hard to tell with the rain on the porch roof.) I need to go out and listen to Mark's insulated porch, but it's too wet to get there!
