A couple of years ago we had our ceiling caulked, sealed and insulated. It made a huge difference in the comfort of our home. Good thing – the odds that we live here long enough to pay for the work, even with a low-interest energy efficiency loan, is slim indeed. The good news it that we met Mike D from Sisler Builders who did the work.
Last year I contacted him about the ceiling in our living room. Not their responsibility and of course, with a busy lifestyle, I neglected taking further action. Besides, we installed a wood stove in the sunroom this fall and the only time I saw the living room was to turn out a light on the way to bed.
Today while toasting bagels a drop of water fell on my head. Sadly, I was standing in the kitchen.
I tremble at the thought of soaking the insulation which was installed just a few years ago. My gut feeling is we need a new roof. We have the receipt for our 40 years guarantee shingles installed 20 years ago, but that may only be good to start a fire.
I wrote to Mike. We shall see what is next in our grand adventure of home ownership.
