Buttoning up for Hannah

With tropical storm Hannah on the way (which is expected to drop three to five inches of rain) we decided to cover the plywood roof sheathing with tarps until we are able to install metal roofing. Our thought was that tarps would be reasonably fast and easy, and we had other things in our lives to tend to. But it was windy, and the tarps were awkward and required more securing than we thought. As a result it took pretty much all day, and we could perhaps have applied roofing felt and drip edge in this time instead. Live and learn. We also took the time to spread hay on the fresh loam skirting the house and covering the septic, to try to keep it from washing away in the storm.
