Red Dog Day one

Roofing Day Arrived 7/26/2022.

At 7:55 2 men sat in truck until 8:08.

For 3 blazing hot hours the two men worked like beavers. 

There were only 2 of them, one called out sick. Mondays are famous for that.

They covered the ground with black netting and AC and all things that could be harmed.

Our AC has the fan on top, and the man in the photo below and I had a few laughs while trying to communicate through our language barrier.

I was afraid it would burn the fan motor; he was saying it was netting and OK, He pointed at the canvas on our grill and shook his head no, at his netting and smiled and said Yes.

The noise was not all that bad and precious Beau was an angel. Only barked once when something hit the window while they put down netting to cover everything.

While they played the drums on the roof, another truck pulled in. And since I was hanging out the window, I met him halfway to the door. He wanted the 2nd check and Mr Tall Dark, Hansome  18 year old said he was the project manager. He held up his Ipad and verified what and when and how and we chatted like he was my Great Grand Son.  He took my 2nd check, there will be a 3rd when its done and drove away.

They worked steady for 3 hours nonstop, until 11:15 and then sat in the truck. While they sat the project manager arrived and unloaded things onto the roof, He was really tall and lifted shingles and boxes and rolls of black stuff like it was nothing.

He left. I hung out the window.

they sat for 45 minutes, drove off at 12 and back at 12:30 and sat in the truck eating chicken.

I saw all this through my window... I fretted and FRETTED.

I could see the afternoon Monsoon building to the East. Every day they come between 3 and 6.

at 1 O'clock Bob went out to get the mail and came in and said they are both asleep.

OMG! Siesta. They sat in that truck for 3 hours.

Back up on the roof 2:15, I watched the radar and FRETTED

The vent was off the peak of the roof and in the garage, I could see the hole the rain would come through. 

At 4 pm Tall Dark and Handsome came and stepped on the tail gate, onto the dumpster and stepped on the roof. Wow! I said to Bob, and he was not impressed, by now sick to death of my telling him what was happening.

I went out to the truck to see what was what, and he was said they will cover the roof, don't worry. I said I hear thunder, it's dangerous for them, he said they know when to get down.

I stood in the back yard and watched them madly rolling black tar paper over the wood they had put down. Drops started, a few, thunder rolled, I went inside because I did not want to be struck by lightning and wanted to be able to call 911 if it got them

The sky opened at 4:45 and the monsoon came, they sat in the truck for an hour and still the thunder roared. The man in the first photo, got out of the truck and started to the door and a bolt smacked the ground right in front of our house. He jumped in the truck, and they left.

I am writing this at 4 am and waiting for 

Day Two to begin, no water in the house and now it will be a 3rd day.

I hope the 3rd man comes today because Monsoons will be here in 10 to 12 hours.
