Next week I take my rv into Jimmy’s for a roof replacement. Last spring I scraped an overhanging branch, then moved on without knowing it. I discovered the problem when it rained in Santa Rosa, but couldn’t patch it until the rain stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was the third patch in the same place. When I took a close look at the roof, it looked “thin”, like it was dissolving away. The texture was more fine powder than rubbery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before I left for Texas, I discussed the replacement with Jimmy’s, and set a date of Feb 3 for going in. It’s not unfair to say that Jimmy is famous for not being able to schedule work into the shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The roof will be stripped to the wood (though I cringe when I hear that material being described that way), a piece of rubber will be cemented down, and the stuff will be put back. There’s a flat price for the roof, but I pay by the hour to R&R the solar panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The job takes a week. I take it in on Feb 3, and pick it up Feb 10. So what do I do without my house for a week? In Deming, NM?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One option is to check into one of the motels not 100 yards away from where I’m parked now. I’ve been here a week, I’ll be here another week, just add another week in the same place. And my rv and a motel room are close in area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I picked driving up to Albuquerque to motel it in the city, and then at the casino. Weather could be cold and snowy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
