I need some support here. I have been struggling for over 3 weeks now with roof woes. First, it's my neighbor's roof. Great lady, perfect neighbor. She hired contractors to put a new roof on her house, kindly let me know when they would be working (yard sale weekend of course) then asked if they could put "part" of the refuse dumpster on my yard. No problem. I wanna be a good neighbor too. Fast forward one week - the roofers drag out the full dumpster across my yard and driveway, trenching the you-know-what out of it. Lovely. But they did come back later and spread a truck full of topsoil, so maybe it will work out.
Now, on to my roof woe. I finally decided to suck it up and have my roof repaired. What was originally going to be a 2-day project is now entering it's 3rd week. Not completely the roofers fault (he's got bad knees, drop-in guests, stomach problems, rain for the first time this summer etc) but having scaffolding across the back of my house and blocking my lovely fenced yard is becoming tiresome. When I hang out my laundry (and I do it every weekend) I must take the long way around the house and yard. Bah! I realize I am whining and I will eventually stop. Probably after I have to write the monstrous check to pay for all of this.
By the way, the picture in this post is NOT my house, but the former home of Frank (Pistol Pete) Eaton who gained fame as OSU's mascot. It's kinda sad to see it in such disrepair. Maybe I could recommend some roofers?
