We have a new roof!
Loading the supplies was quite a proposition! At one point, I was sitting in the administrative office when an 800 pound load was dropped not-quite-as-gently-as-planned on the roof. I just about gave myself whiplash at the thud!
It's been quite a learning process. 'In the 50s, catch basins for drains like the ones featured above, were sealed with lead - which cracked, allowing leaks. The drain in the rear has been repaired but the one in the foreground needs some work in order to prevent any additional leaking into the apartment bathroom and the ground floor janitor's closet beneath it. Once that's done, we should have an airtight roof for another 20 years or more!
Thanks be to God!
