We had a pretty heavy thunderstorm this afternoon main cell went right over the house, 1/2" diameter hail, plus pretty stiff winds. One minor issue with the house roof, the metal ridge cap was peeled back. Neighbor who is a contractor was gracious enough to use my (er, Mark's) ladder and reattatch it, plus tarp about 9' of the peak of the roof just in case.
While he was up there, he confirmed what I knew, but had been hoping to avoid... a complete tear off is in order due to ice dams and just 26 yr old roofing materials (original roof on the starter house). SO, i'll be visiting a roofing company I trust and see how soon they can start, and how much it will cost...
pics when I can get back on the iMac, probably in the morning.
