What could possibly go wrong?
My roof recently stopped doing its job and let a bunch of water in to soak the ceiling. I can't replace the sheetrock ceiling until the roof is fixed. The Roof is old and tired so we retired it and hired a Contractor to replace it. The weather has not cooperated though and its gotten pushed back a week. They stop working December so we really only 2 weeks left and theres no way to reschedule until after the Holiday.. They are planning on doing the roof Wednesday now. Swear its a one day job and it will be cleaned up by Thanksgiving. Thats good since I have about 30 family members over. They just delivered the tiles, that was interesting to watch. I have a long "gravel" driveway thats mostly muck with all the rain we have gotten. I can't wait to see them bring down and drop the Dumpster.. Thats going to be real interesting.:)
So the day before Thanksgiving I will have a crew working on my roof scrapping, hammering and pounding away while I cook and Prep for the Holiday.Should be real Fun. I really should write a book on all this stuff someday.
I have to ask myself. what could possibly go wrong?:bandana:

Oh boy Al, I really hope that all works out. But I would be feeling a little pessimistic about it which I think you do also. :(

Oh boy is right. All we can do is cross our fingers for you. I just started crossing mine now.
Re: What could possibly go wrong?
What's the weather forecast? I'm joining in the collective finger-crossing (here in Italy they have more colourful superstitious gestures that are not suitable to be described in polite company)
Re: What could possibly go wrong?
Guys, it's called crossing all body parts lol

Despite the old tired saying: " whatever can go wrong, you can be sure it will ".
Having said that, Al - I truly believe luck is on your side, and you'll have a very pleasant Thanksgiving that all your family & friends will enjoy! It will work that way - I can sense it.
Re: What could possibly go wrong?
What you don’t want to do is ask that question!
Re: What could possibly go wrong?
Yikes! That’s stressful. I’m hoping you’ll have 1 more thing to be thankful for!

Thanks all.
Crossing my fingers as the crew got here a day early... they are working now but the weather is iffy today .. morning rain possible. Its pretty gray out there. Hopefully it hold off. The afternoon and tomorrow look good. Fingers crossed it all goes well.

At this point yes... they are scraping off the old shingles right now.. Theres a crew of 5 guys.,1 foreman, 4 workers. These guys are no nonsense hard workers.

Re: What could possibly go wrong?
With 5 guys they'll get it done for sure. Did they get the dumpster in alright?

They did Liz, getting out with all that weight will be the trick! So far so good.. they haveit ripped up and are replacing some softboards.. Its not as bad as I feared but I know now where the water came in... fireplace peak was a bit rotted.

Re: What could possibly go wrong?
They're moving along fast. As long as they get it blacked in before the rain they can do the shingles later. Are you getting regular shingles or Architectural shingles? I bet you're feeling about Thanksgiving.
Re: What could possibly go wrong?
Architectural. Figure its a good investment if I sell in the future.
Thanksgiving is definitely looking up. :)
