Last year about this time we discovered our dear roof leaks in the kitchen. This prompted the great road trip (a.k.a. When life gives you lemons; say f*ck you, lemons, we're going to New York) of 2009.... well the leaking roof was the straw that broke the camel's back because it was right after I found out I would not have a job at the end of May. Well my dad came out and looked at our roof and maintained it was because the flashing between our roof and our neighbors house was not done right/absent so that was causing the leak. So he fixed it and we went on our merry little way.
Fast forward to 4am this morning mid thunderstorm/torrential downpour: the leak has returned. "good morning to me"/say it with me: *ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!*
This tells me that
- the problem is bigger than we think
- the owners prior to the previous owners either did it themselves or hired the cheapest/crappiest roofer possible and the result is crappy workmanship -- hence the absence of proper flashing that has already been addressed..
Either way, I really hope it's just more flashing issues around vents and not a whole roof problem that necessitates putting on a new roof. Or I really will have to say good bye to the delusion that I'll have a proper wedding.....
