In life some things are given. If there's water running down a wall from the ceiling, you can say with fair accuracy that there's a roof problem. Well, that was reality one day this week, so two of us were afforded a "window of opportunity."
Translation: we climbed out the window onto a flat roof below the flat roof that was having the issue, climbed a ladder and then created a trench through the snow and ice (and rocks that are part of the roof) to allow the pooling water from melting snow to flow to the roof drain.
We are happy to report that our efforts worked: the water wasn't dripping from the ceiling areas when we came back inside!
Just one more way of doing everything for the honor and glory of God.
NUNS on a roof!!!! LOVE IT!! MISS YOU AND PRAYING FOR YOU SISTERS!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll bet the view was great too! I love the habits but I hope you wore something else to climb the ladder.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the account of your successful (and most enterprising) roof repair! It allows us (out-in-the-world) to see your human-ness. With your beautiful liturgical reflections, we also come to know your charism and spirituality. Your blog is a joy to read!
