'Tis The Season

Yes...the season to forget online projects is upon us. What with the Marcellus/Waldron Christmas Kegger and shopping, etc., I forgot to update this blog with new roof news. Thanks goes out to my cousin John for reminding me at last weekend's party.

We had Kenny's roofer come out and take a look, and he had some opinions on the source of the water problem. However, he was somewhat amazed that I didn't call the previous owners' roofer to see if they guaranteed their work. I took his advice and called O'Bannon Roofing. They recognized the address and remembered working on a similar problem here not so long ago. I had to call them a few times to remind them I was still waiting for them to find the old paperwork, etc., but they eventually sent out a few guys. They crawled around up there and found the problems, which was nice. Then they told me that the work they did doesn't technically carry over to a new owner, which wasn't so nice. But then they said that since they didn't actually finish the job correctly last time, they'd fix the leaks for free anyway.

They fixed it a few days before one of those super-windy downpours, and we haven't had a problem since! Way to go O'Bannon guys! So, roof problem solved. Now we just have to replace that section of the ceiling and we're good as new.
