| valorie | and back | 21:18 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | our old roof sprung a leak in the first heavy rain of the season | 21:18 |
| valorie | :( | 21:18 |
| valorie | my side of the bed | 21:19 |
| valorie | then this morning, a second leak | 21:19 |
| valorie | :( | 21:19 |
| valorie | gonna have to go up again with a tarp, ropes, etc. | 21:19 |
| valorie | to hold us until we can get a new roof spring - summer | 21:20 |
| clivejo | eakk | 21:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <ahoneybun> Damn | 21:21 |
| clivejo | thats a long time for a tarp to hold up | 21:21 |
| valorie | what's the alternative | 21:21 |
| valorie | pretty late to try to do a roof now that the rains have begun | 21:22 |
| valorie | and we only got clearance about a month ago to do a metal roof | 21:22 |
| valorie | since then, it was under level 3 evac orders because of the fire | 21:22 |
| clivejo | it is insured? | 21:22 |
| valorie | well, we insure the forest service against us starting a fire or so | 21:23 |
| valorie | but you can't really get insurance | 21:23 |
| clivejo | its not a home? | 21:23 |
| valorie | we own the building itself, but it's on leased land | 21:24 |
| valorie | or precisely: special permit land | 21:24 |
| clivejo | oh right | 21:25 |
| valorie | I can't even imagine the replacement cost | 21:25 |
| clivejo | just curious how it works there | 21:25 |
| valorie | the four original guys did a timber buy in the 1950s | 21:25 |
| valorie | had loggers cut and limb the trees and truck them down | 21:25 |
| valorie | we peeled and put insecticide on them while they were seasoning | 21:26 |
| valorie | those sort of logs are now worth thousands since the japanese want them | 21:26 |
| valorie | each | 21:26 |
| valorie | I mean, a fire probably wouldn't burn the logs themselves unless it was a maelstrom of wildfire | 21:28 |
| valorie | just the roof and some contents | 21:28 |
| valorie | although they have been drying for 60 years...... | 21:28 |
| clivejo | seems to be a storm blowing in here | 21:40 |
| valorie | Bob had to get off the mountain early, this afternoon, because there was a snowstorm | 21:41 |
| valorie | he said it was basically a blizzard, so they knocked off at 2 | 21:41 |
| valorie | got down to the cabin just as Thomas and we were about finished cleaning and packing | 21:41 |
| valorie | here it is pretty calm -- we've only had maybe a tenth of an inch of rain this weekend | 21:47 |
| valorie | probably 5x that much at the cabin, which is good for the fire situation | 21:47 |
