Emotional Rollercoaster

This garage and its roof has been a roller coaster of emotions for us. Excitement, disappointment,  happiness, anger, relief, suspicion. I don't know where we fall right now. When we got back from dinner last night we spied two guys sitting on our roof. They quickly scramnbled down and said they were waiting for their boss.

After we hung around outside checking on things their boss arrives an hour later than he had told them he would be there. Whew, they were supposed to be there. A little unsure when strangers are hanging around and they don't speak enough English for you to get a lot of their story.

 The boss kept calling us over and saying there is a small issue here we need to discuss. This is the big one the framers didn't go at 90 degrees. They probably couldn't because of the funny angles.The rafters are crooked. This means when they screw the metal on our screw lines will be crooked. Did we want them to fix this? No, who is going to be above the roof line to see crooked screws. Only the Air Force as the AWAC planes fly overhead. Just put the roof on. We still don't notice the crooked boards so I don't think the lines are going to be too far off. He pointed out that our front window is crooked; had to explain it is an optical illusion.  The window is not crooked it's that the floor slopes because the two buildings are at different elevations. Once the dry wall goes up you won't notice. 

Came home this morning after buying groceries for the long weekend and there is a work truck there. The boss is on the roof of the Residence checking for the source of the leaks that the previous owner had. We think the old ones are fixed but there seem to be a few new ones have sprung up with the roof framing going up. Having the experts check it out; if we can avoid climbing around a high metal roof we will.
