Ernesto didn’t blow this house down
Well, the weather forecasters got that one wrong. They predicted we’d get a lot of rain but little wind from Ernesto here on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Instead we got gusts of up to 60 mph, along with 7 inches of rain. Count ‘em 7.
The wind blew the metal roof off the historic Cokesbury Church in Onancock, but the tar-paper on my roof stayed put. Go figure.
A tiny bit of rain blew in the cracks of my unfinished house. But the plumbers let more water in. They actually tried to work on Friday during the storm, and dragged my tub into the house. Naturally some water was dragged in too. They also opened the upstairs patio door (for ventilation?) and some rain blew in there too.
I hate sub-contractors.
