But thankfully, nothing yet. <br /><br />Just be careful on the roof if you're up there shovelling! We know someone who shattered their elbow last week, trying to clear the gutters. Yikes!<br /><br />good on you for having extra flooring!

Definitely sending a prayer for all the unexpected problems you're having to deal with.<br />Not that it's not enough work on its own, but if you feel like it, maybe all the repairs that are coming with this could turn into little instructional posts? I'm certainly very interested in learning how to fix & work with any kind of of things like this around a house. Meanwhile, keep warm & dry, up there! (ps- for a sec I actually thought the cutout in the wall was an interesting piece of art hanging there like a distressed piece of an old red wood-slatted barn door or something!)Krystal Wight Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310610382345882173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-85045875399315087692011-01-23T18:48:17.743-08:002011-01-23T18:48:17.743-08:00Oh, this is terrible.

We had them all the time until we finally changed the roofline (we had a weird mini-dormer that was causing problems that couldn't be fixed with any roofing or insulation solutions). We had to shovel the roof every time it snowed and go up there and break off the ice every few days or we'd have leaks in the house. <br /><br />Glad your insurance company is working with you on it.Erin @ The Impatient Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14166660410287418037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-22702312939514112122011-01-23T17:54:00.062-08:002011-01-23T17:54:00.062-08:00Good luck!
