Roof repairs are noisy and expensive.

SO NOISY THOUGH.

Also, this could be a coincidence - the roofer certainly proclaimed it implausible - but I think all the shaking that goes on when you are using force to remove the old roof has finally shaken the wiring in our kitchen to the limit. I was able to plug the fridge into another socket, and we can light the stove with a lighter, but I need the oven. I was going to roast a chicken! Also, we've known we need to replace the entire circuit breaker attached to the kitchen for a while, so here I am, trying to get an electrician to call us back. Why is this always so hard? (And when they do show up, guaranteed they'll say what everybody says, namely "What idiot installed this?" The roofer said it when looking at the skylights.

Ugh. My sympathies. <3

Ah the joys of home ownership.

Roofing can be done by idiots. It can be done fairly well, by idiots. Electrical... not so much. It might have been done by a former home owner. My house is filled with interesting things done by the former owners.

Good luck and stay safe.

Oh, we know who fucked up that particular stage of the electric - though to be fair, judging from some raised eyebrows, the electric system that came with the house is a little iffy as well.

Fortunately, the noise is only temporary. Happy new roof!

Best of luck with getting the electrical sorted. Those gifts keep on giving -- and not always in a good way, either.
