This Olde House III

With the roof watertight I can now address the termite issue with fumigation. Remember that blue tarp covering the old HVAC ducts? Well, after the roofers had completed their work, it rained. Hard. Over 4" fell over the weekend. On Monday morning as I walked into my kitchen, I noticed that my feet were wet. I looked up and saw this...




Wind-whipped water had gotten in between the tarp and the roof curb and leaked onto the kitchen ceiling. Fun!

In preparation for fumigation I removed all food and drink from the house and stayed at a neighbor's home for a few days.

The gas company arrived to shut off the gas and replaced this 40 year old valve with a more modern one.

The fumigators could work for Christo...









With the fumigation done, the HVAC unit can be installed and the tile can be put back. But what about that leak...
