A new day dawned yesterday, and as I was putting our past week's experience in writing to you, good things were taking place! Tom went to the roofing manufacturer and they had the perfect flashing for the chimney. Tom worked until the sun set and got the job done!
As you can see, this flashing was made for this type of roof and just molded itself around the ridges in the roof panels.
Tom and I had a good laugh up on the roof. What is it about caulking, it's like icing a cake, you get it all over your hands and clothes no matter how careful you are!
The other fantastic thing that happened yesterday was that next to the roofing company was a sheet metal shop! Why is this so exciting? We found someone to make the oven's door! And we should have it today!
This is a photo of our original oven's door. To insulate the door, left over pieces of Foamglas will be used! Having a sheet metal door insulated in this way makes it very light and easy to handle.
We're hoping the electrician will make it today. He was a no show yesterday, but he did call so that's encouraging. I couldn't wait to get you all this good new! Thanks for checking in. Thoughtfully, Kath.
