With all the hard rain last night and all day today, we learned we really do have a roof leak. Some months ago we noticed a stain on an upstairs ceiling and immediately called Ken, our guru of all things home construction. He could not find the leak at that time. So we developed a plan. We would paint over the stain with Kilz and watch the area to see if the stain recurred. After every storm and every trip we’d check the ceiling and heave a sigh of relief that there was no more staining. Then today things changed. In the middle of the hard rain we looked up and discovered we had a water balloon developing in the middle of the ceiling! Another call to Ken who came quickly and was able to find the actual leak. Now we have a new game plan. Seal the leak. Replace the insulation. Paint to ceiling again. And all will be well! Thank heavens for Kilz!
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
