It's a little distracting at the moment, as there are guys hammering on the roof as we get some flashing around the chimney repaired. We were expecting them next week, but they showed up today, and we suspect they are trying to get routine work like this out of the way, as tomorrow's hurricane is forecast to be pretty severe, so they are probably looking to clear their plate in advance of roof repairs. Naturally, we have our fingers crossed that we won't be one of their customers for that, as no one wants to have to fix their roof, much less twice within a week.
