The best and safest way to install everything properly is to hire reliable roofing contractors to do the job for you. <br /><br />-<a href="http://www.ajcroofing.com/products-services/roofing" rel="nofollow">Joann Winton</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11836207051540078722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334178106329725361.post-5341659050137128912012-12-20T05:40:48.451-08:002012-12-20T05:40:48.451-08:00“Always double your estimate.” – I agree with this...“Always double your estimate.” – I agree with this. This applies to any kind of home repair. Anyway, the previous skylight was installed more than 3 decades ago. So, the leaks were just probably a call for a <br /><br /><a href="http://www.liveoakconstruction.com/residential-roofing/" rel="nofollow">Mariam Freame ^.^</a>Live Oak Constructionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084302105395686434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334178106329725361.post-49322569550887018022012-09-26T06:40:59.133-07:002012-09-26T06:40:59.133-07:00It’s a good thing that the dry rots were removed, ...It’s a good thing that the dry rots were removed, Kathy. I actually considered them as silent destroyers of the roof. As you can see, they thrive in the roof space which is not often seen. And if undiscovered, it might worsen the situation of your roof. I assumed your roof is back in good shape now.

Approximately over the pantry. None of the water dripped down into the house itself except around the skylight, and then only during heavy rains. It was definitely a problem last winter.<br /><br />Yes, the twins and I had a great time. One moment of hilarity - we had Hunter in with us for most of the jam-making because Max & Maleena showed up to pick blackberries after the twins. Hunter was getting into my box of backpacking supplies that needs to go back out to the garage. He got ahold of the box of powdered egg-replacer and dumped it on the floor, with part of it over his head. White super-fine powder everywhere in the kitchen. Oh, my. I made Maleena come in and help clean up. Meanwhile the jam was boiling away.

I assume that was the reason for the problems in the downstairs bathroom when we stayed with you. How far over the kitchen was the dry rot?<br /><br />I am sure the twins loved Grandma time! As a bonus they made a great memory, and yummy jam! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655197693521484077noreply@blogger.com
