Glad your repair is done and all is safe. Since my husband's fall from a roof, I don't let him up there. We would have to hire someone to fix ours because I sure wouldn't be any good at it.

DR goes on the roof and I hide my eyes and hold onto the ladder. I used to help my dad with roofing but wouldn't do it now unless there was no other way. Dooley

Couple of days ago I helped my husband to repair/replace gutters under the roof - some of them got damaged in the storm. When I said helped - I looked like I knew what I was doing - he was on the ladder and I was on the ground passing the tools.
Love Lara

Congrats Richard on a job well done. That first rain after repairs is always filled with trepidation and wandering around to see if there are any more leaks.
We had to have a whole new roof a few years ago and still have several years left on the warranty....no roof work for us thankfully.

I convinced Ron that we should have a solar tube installed in the dining room. I knew if it leaked I'd never hear the end of it. I exagerate. I'd feel guilty all on my own. I was so relieved that after the season of storms the floor was dry. I don't even like going on the roof myself, Richard. I'm lucky Ron is nice like you and will go up instead.

I'm happy and proud for you, Richard,  "Job well done!!"
It must be a very gratifying feeling to have conquered your leaky spot.
Maybe I could get you to come and have a look at our roof??
We have a recurring trouble spot which defies all attempts at repair, 
nothing we do works for long (I'm sure our roofer cringes whenever his phone rings).
I badly want to replace the stained ceiling in our dining room, and the insulation above it,
but until we find a fix that lasts,  it's pointless.

I am proud of Richard, and I had every confidence in the world that he could do the job, even without help. I am just glad they did it while I was at work.
Now, when the weather is a little warmer and not so rainy the quick fix will have to be redone with something more permanent.
