Roof Update

We had a rain since our state-of-the-art temporary repair job on the siding/roof convergence. The tape looked space-aged so I figured it must be state-of-the-art. But it turned about to be about as reliable as the promises made in the State-of-the-Union address. In other words, it did not help. We still have a leaky garage. 

Had a contractor come and look at it and he needed to bring his other guy out that has a ladder to get on top and take a better look. It has to be done before the roof so stay tuned. To make it interesting we are having him take off the Dryvit stucco on that section since it is the back end of the garage. That will give us a clue as to the the condition of the original redwood siding. It could get ugly before it gets better. But, living in the mid-twentieth century meant living with the very real threat of being nuked by the russkies so, this is miniscule in comparison.
