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!
Fenton House and Spaniards Inn
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
