If you haven't been reading the past few posts, this will make little sense. Serves you right. Synopsis to date: in remodeling the lanai, I discovered a leak in the roof.. Preparing to install a patch, I learned that dear, departed Uncle Bud had slathered the area in question with bathtub caulk. Uncle Bud slathered everything in B.C., probably including his breakfast toast. A dear man, really. So you shouldn't take my obscene outbursts too seriously. I have done some genealogy in the past, so I know - in some intellectual sense - that Uncle Bud did indeed have a father.
I dynamited all the old caulk off and patched and applied a bit of fresh caulking compound according to enlightened roofing protocol. Blood flowed.
It rained yesterday, The freaking roof still leaks, albeit not so aggressively.
So I climbed back up and slathered an entire tube of B.C. over the patch. Screw it.
Bud, you were right. Rest in vindicated peace.

Let me know when you complete this porch project, and I'll send you some homemade cookies as a lanai warming.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to Uncle Bud.
Much better than horse pucky. Interior work should move fast now that I have the electrical wiring roughed in. Relatives arrive Feb 16, so...
ReplyDeleteOkey dokey. I'll keep that date in mind. Where do I send the cookies? I'll even send a gift bag of horse pucky...in a separate container of course. The hp is great for your indoor plants.
ReplyDeleteCookies! I hope I don't actually need to complete this damn project on time. My electrical wiring plan has a glitch, as do Plans B and C. I am contemplating calling a professional, thereby admitting defeat. Not yet, though.
ReplyDeleteAddress for cookies and HP follows separately.

Was gonna send those cookies as a lanai warming, but it sounds like some cookies would help the project go a bit smoother. Would you like them gift wrapped, so you can give them to your wife as a peace offering for messing up her new white towels?
ReplyDeleteI have a group of guys I keep around for such projects...Jose Cuervo and Jack Daniels to name two. Then there's Old Granddad who really knows his stuff.
ReplyDeleteA plain brown wrapper will be fine. I'll tell Judy we got two packages of horse pucky from a critic.
