Yesterday I saw that there was a leak in the roof, around the pipe from the ventilation system water was coming in.

So we called around and found a roofer that was able to come by this morning to check it out.

Luckily it'll be an easy fix; the cap on top of the pipe is broken and needs to be replaced. He has to order it, but he should be able to fix it next week. Luckily dry weather is predicted this week.

For the past six months my sister has been looking for a roofer off and on to get a roof inspection done. Several said they would call back to book an appointment, but they never did. She found one and was able to get an appointment, he was supposed to show up between 0730 and 0800 am so we got up extra early for him not to show up and never called my sister.

The roofer just came by and he also checked out the 20 year old dormer window, we knew it didn't have a (proper) drain, so it was full of water. Also because of the age the bitumen needs to be replaced, which he can also do next week. Plus put in a more durable repair on one of the gutters (previous owners had it repaired, but not in the best way).

He's also going to give us a quote for putting in a small roof window over the laundry nook, it would be nice to have some daylight there and another option to ventilate besides having the doors and windows up in my rooms.

It isn't even 9am yet and we've already had an exciting morning.

Had recrudescence of stroke (where symptoms return, but not new stroke), ended up in hospital.

I hope it went well at the hospital.
